ROME, Ga. - The Piedmont men's golf B Team was in action over Monday and Tuesday in Rome, Georgia competing in the Chick-fil-A Invitational at Stonebridge Golf Club.

The Lions put forth an impressive performance, finishing fourth out of the 19 teams competing. Piedmont was also the top finishing 'B Team' in the event, finishing ahead of B Teams from Huntingdon and Methodist.

It was a consistent performance across the board from the Lions, with three players finishing in the top 15 on the individual leaderboard.

Junior Caleb Vancil was rock solid over the 54-hole event, carding rounds of 74, 73 and 74 to finish at 5-over par and in solo 12th out of 98 golfers competing.

Two more Lions brought in top 15's with sophomores Connor Fahey and Elliot Mehler each taking home tied for 14th finishes.

It was a blistering start for Mehler as he fired back-to-back rounds of 2-under 70 on Monday before falling back with an 82 on the final day.

Fahey fired three rounds in the 70's, highlighted by a 1-under 71 in Round Two that included three birdies against just two bogeys.

Freshmen Reece Whaley and Andrew Dunn each finished tied for 47th and +14 overall for the event. However, each delivered a par-or-better round to help the team. Dunn carded an even par round of 72 in the first round while Whaley posted a 1-under 71 in Round Two.

Up next, the B Team is back in action with a home event, beginning Monday, Nov. 3 at The Orchard Golf and Country Club in Clarkesville, Georgia.
