Published or Revised October 24, 2012

The Paris Junior College Dragons golf team came in second at the Tyler Junior College Fall Invitational held at Oak Hurst Golf Course in Bullard, Texas, Oct. 22-23. "We played well this week, especially in the second round," said PJC Golf Coach David Johnson. "We had to be able to put both rounds together to gain second. Our team's expectations are high, so we were disappointed with our first round performance. We made some strides this week. I thought we competed well and made good decisions on shot-making and club selection." The Dragons had rounds of 300 and 290, finishing four shots behind Tyler. PJC was led by red-shirt freshman Ben Welker, who finished in fourth place with rounds of 76 and a 2-under 70. Freshman Zac Oliver continued his good play this semester with rounds of 73-74 for fifth place. Other scores for the Dragons included Evan Feltham with 72-77, Jeremy Salas with 79-73, and Paul Simpson with 80-73.
