Laurinburg, N.C. - N.C. Wesleyan wrapped up its fall golf season on Monday and Tuesday at the St. Andrews University Fall Invitational. Sophomore Grady Anderson finished in the top-10 to help lead his Bishops to a solid 2nd-place finish among nine teams competing. The two-day event was held at the par-72 Scotch Meadows Country Club in Laurinburg.

Freshman Luke Thornton's 75 led the Bishops in the opening round, while junior David White carded a 76. A pair of 77s by Anderson and freshman Mariano Silvestri secured a 305 team score for NCWC heading into Tuesday.

Behind a tourney-best 73 by Anderson in the final round, the Bishops were able to shave two strokes off their day one score, giving Wesleyan a two-day total of 608... one stroke ahead of host St. Andrews and just 13 strokes off the pace set by perennial powerhouse Methodist University.

Anderson tied for 9th-place among the field of 54 golfers with a two-day 150, with Silvestri's rounds of 77 and 74 tying for 11th at 151. White and Thornton posted a 155 and 156, respectively, which place both in the top-20. Senior Matthew May bounced back from an 83 on Monday to card a 77 in the final round to tie for 31st at 163.

Playing as an individual, senior Pearce Parsons tied for 24th overall with rounds of 83 and 76 (159).

Ander Crenshaw of Montreat College garnered medalist honors after finishing 3-under with rounds of 73 and 68 (141).

Wesleyan will now prepare for a promising 2017 spring season after posting top-5 finishes in all four of their fall tournaments.
