Stuart Easton
Western Kentucky junior Stuart Easton registered his third straight top-five finish Tuesday as the Hilltopper golf team placed fourth at Kennesaw State’s Pinetree Intercollegiate.
Easton was one of three Hilltoppers in the top 15 individually, tying for fifth with an even-par 144 (72-72) tally at the par-72, 7,108-yard Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, Ga.
The tournament was shortened to two rounds of play this week because of inclement weather in the area.
WKU shot a 587 (287-300) team total, just four strokes behind champion Southern Illinois. Wisconsin and host Kennesaw State tied for second at 584, only three shots ahead of the Hilltoppers, who started the final round tied for first.
