Emory Golf Tied For 9th At Golfweek Invitational
The No. 14-ranked Emory University golf team finds itself tied
for ninth place out of 15 teams after the first day of play at the
Golfweek Fall Invitational. The 54-hole tourney is being
played at the 6,888-yard, par-72 Southern Dunes Golf and Country

282. Concordia College (MN) and Skidmore College are
deadlocked for second place at 290 while Transylvania (291) and

Junior Ryan Dagerman (Dallas, TX) led the Eagles’ contingent
with an even-under 72, good for a 14th-place tie in the
75-player field. Dagerman salvaged his even-par score by
registering a birdie on the 461-yard, par-4 18th
hole. Senior Nick Szem is tied for 26th after
checking in with a two-over par 74. Freshman Johnathan Chen
