Ralston, Phillips lead Georgia's surge to team crown in Linger Longer Invitational


   Getting matching 6-under-par 66s from individual champion Spencer Ralston, a junior from Gainesville, Ga., and Trevor Phillips, a junior from Inman, S.C., Georgia, No. 15 in the latest Golfstat rankings, blew by Southeastern Conference rival Alabama and the rest of the field Sunday to capture the team title in the Linger Longer Invitational at The Landing Course at Reynolds Lake Oconee in Greensboro, Ga.
   It was the second win of the spring – the Bulldogs shared the team crown with in-state rival Georgia Tech in the Puerto Rico Classic last month – for Georgia, which closed with an 11-under 277 over The Landing Course, which plays to 6,991 yards and a par of 72. That gave Georgia a 19-under 845 total and a six-shot margin of victory over No. 21 Liberty, which capped a solid week with a 5-under 283 that gave the Flames a 13-under 851 total.
   No. 25 Louisville, out of the Atlantic Coast Conference, also had a strong week and closed with an 8-over 296 to finish third at 10-under 854. Liberty and Louisville finished third and fourth, respectively, in the General Hackler Championship, which concluded Tuesday in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
   No. 24 Alabama, the runnerup in both the SEC Championship and the NCAA Championship a year ago, had surged to the top of the leaderboard with a 12-under 276 in Saturday’s second round, but the Crimson Tide fell back with a 7-over 295 in the final round and finished fourth at 5-under 859.
   North Carolina Greensboro’s No.-88 ranking should get a nudge upwards after it completed a strong showing at Reynolds Lake Oconee with a final round of 1-over 289 that left the Spartans alone in fifth place at 3-under 861.
   No. 61 Virginia should also move up in the rankings after the Cavaliers, one of Louisville’s ACC rivals, carded their second straight 6-under 282 to finish sixth at 2-under 862. No. 64 Kennesaw State also closed strong with a 5-under 283 to finish seventh at 2-over 866.
   No. 53 Ohio State carded a final round of 4-over 292 to just sneak past Big Ten rival Penn State, ranked 68th, for eighth place at 3-over 867. The Nittany Lions closed with a 6-over 294 to finish a shot behind the Buckeyes in ninth place in the 15-team field at 4-over 868.
   Ralston’s 66 gave him the individual title at 11-under 205. He had trailed the three co-leaders after two rounds by two shots, but his blazing finish gave him a three-shot margin of victory.
   Trevor Phillips matched Ralston for the low round of the day to surge into a tie for second with Liberty’s Alexandre Fuchs, a sophomore from France, at 8-under 208. Fuchs, one of the three co-leaders after two rounds at 7-under 137, finished up with a 1-under 71.
   Backing up the top two for Georgia was freshman Trent Phillips, Trevor’s younger brother and the No. 38 player in the World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) who carded a final round of 1-under 71 to join the group tied for 15th at 1-under 215.
   Will Kahlstorf, a freshman from Watkinsville, Ga., struggled in the final round with a 78 to finish among the group tied for 40th at 5-over 221. Kahlstorf contributed counting rounds of 71 and 72 in the first two rounds.
   Rounding out the Georgia lineup was Davis Thompson, a sophomore from Auburn, Ala. who closed with a 1-over 73 to land in the group tied for 44th at 6-over 222.
   Penn State senior JD Hughes, a Carlisle product and the winner of the 2017 Pennsylvania Amateur at White Manor Country Club, headed a group of four players tied for fourth in the individual standings at 7-under 209.
   Hughes surged into a share of the individual lead with a sizzling 7-under 65 in Saturday’s second round before matching par in Sunday’s final round with a 72.
   Alabama’s Josh Sedeno, a junior from Roseville, Calif., had joined Hughes and Liberty’s Fuchs at the top of the leaderboard after Saturday’s second round. He also matched par in the final round with a 72 to end up in the foursome tied for fourth at 7-under.
   Rounding out that quartet at 209 were a couple of Louisville players, Jiri Zuska, a freshman from the Czech Republic, and Matthias Schmid, a sophomore from Germany.
   Zuska, who had grabbed the opening-round lead with a 7-under 65, closed with a 1-under 71. Schmid finished strong, posting a 3-under 69.
   Four more players – Liberty’s Erick Chang, a junior from Malaysia, Ohio State senior Daniel Wetterich, one of the Buckeyes’ Cincinnati Kids, South Alabama’s Rasmus Karlsson, a junior from Finland, and Virginia’s David Morgan, a freshman from Naples, Fla. – finished tied for eighth at 4-under 212.
   Karlsson had the best final round of the four with a 2-under 70, Morgan bettered par with a 1-under 71 and Chang and Wetterich matched par in the final round, each posting a 72.
   It was a little bit of a disappointing weekend for Penn State, although Hughes continued to play at a high level. It was also encouraging to see Charles Huntzinger get back on track as the senior from Duluth Ga. matched par in the final round with a 72 to finish in the group tied for 26th at 1-over 217.
   Alec Bard, a junior from New Hartford, N.Y., and the Ryans, Dornes, a senior and a former Manheim Township standout, and Davis, a junior from Berkeley Heights, N.J., struggled a little at Reynolds Lake Oconee.
   Bard opened with a 2-under 70, but his final-round 78 left him in the group tied for 50th at 6-over 223. Dornes, the 2014 PIAA Class AAA runnerup, also landed in the group tied at 223 after a final round of 4-over 76. Davis righted the ship a little in the final round with a 2-over 74 after carding a pair of 77s in the first two rounds. His 12-over 228 total left him in the group tied for 67th.
   Head coach Greg Nye’s Nittany Lions will get a month to get ready for a final push, beginning with the 43rd Rutherford Intercollegiate that they will host at the Blue Course beginning April 13.
   Two weeks later they’ll be in Philadelphia when the Big Ten Championship comes to Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon Course, an A.W. Tillinghast gem. They need to get a little better by then, but they have all proved that they can be better.
