Trojan Leaders

Brice Ballin (74-70-67-211) had a stellar final round as his was four-under after the front nine. After a par to start No. 10, Ballin bogied 11 and rebounded with an eagle on No. 12. He ended the back nine with two more birdies to finish one-under and five-under on the day. 

Ballin had to wait for three schools to complete the final round before claiming individual medalist honors and the second Conference Carolinas Individual Championship in program history. The last individual champion for UMO was John Thatch in 2016.

 Chandler Perry (77-73-75-225) dropped outside of the top-10, as he shot three-over on the day and finished T12. Cade Hancock (75-78-73-226) had his best round of the tournament shooting 73, including four birdies, to take 14th. Ruben Van Der Berg (80-75-75-230) was the final Trojan inside the Top-25 at T23, jumping up two spots from Monday and rounded out the Trojan Card.

Arthur Heinbach (82-80-75-237) was the final Trojan at T35, also shooting his best round of the championship and jumping up two spots in the final round.

COMMENTS
"I'm really proud of Brice and what he was able to accomplish this week. This is something that he has talked about and wanted, so to cap off his career with an individual conference championship is really amazing! He will graduate in a few weeks as the best player to play in the University of Mount Olive golf program, since it became a four-year institution. I could not be prouder," said Head Coach Chip Spiron.

"I'm very happy with my performance this weekend. I'm very thankful for all of my teammates and coaches that were there to support me! It was great to end the season on a high note and get the win," said Ballin.

Up Next: Mount Olive with the conclusion of the championship sees the end of their team regular-season. Brice Ballin will now await the NCAA Tournament selection in the coming weeks, to see if he will qualify for the national tournament.
