M. Golf. Michael Johnson wins Schenkel Invitational; Auburn men's golf fifth

STATESBORO, Ga. – All-SEC senior Michael Johnson won the Schenkel Invitational with a birdie on the second playoff hole after firing a 2-under 70 on Sunday at the Forest Heights Country Club.

Johnson and Vanderbilt’s Will Gordon each finished at 13-under 203.

It is Johnson’s third win of the season, one shy of the NCAA lead, and the fifth of his career.

“It feels great,” Johnson said. “It’s hard to win just once, I feel extremely blessed to have been able to do it three times this year.”

Johnson, the No. 3 rated golfer in the nation, went to the 18th green needing a birdie to tie Gordon and force playoff.
