DICKSON, Tenn. - Elliot Mehler claimed the individual title as the Piedmont Men's Golf B Team opened its 2025 fall season with 36 holes at the Greystone Fall Invitational Sunday.

Mehler, a sophomore from Fleming Island, Florida, carded back-to-back under par rounds on the day to finish -4 for the event, three strokes clear of second place.

He began the day with a 1-under 71 that was a career best at the time. Although he had a double bogey on his card, Mehler made up for it with four birdies to finish under par.

Then, in the final round, Mehler built on the momentum, shooting his first ever collegiate round in the 60's with five birdies including three in a four-hole stretch early in his round.

 

As a team, the Lions placed 2nd out of the five teams (all B Teams) competing in the event.

Numerous Lions made their debuts Sunday, led by Reece Whaley, who fired two rounds of 75 to finish +6 and in a tie for 15th in the event.

Up next, the Lions will tee it up for their varsity debut at the Gate City Invitational, set to begin Monday, Sept. 15 in Greensboro, North Carolina.
