Wilson Takes First Place at Maggie Mountain Tournament

Prestonsburg, KY - Ohio Christian University golf wrapped up competition at the Maggie Mountain Invitational, hosted by Alice Lloyd College, with the Trailblazers putting together multiple strong performances to close out the tournament. 

Tristain Wilson claimed medalist honors after shooting rounds of 79 and 80 for a two-day total of 159. She finished an impressive eight shots ahead of the next closest competitor to secure the individual victory. The win adds to an already impressive career for Wilson, who was named an All-American last season, competed at the national tournament, and collected multiple tournament victories during last season. 

Sophomore Anna Spahr also delivered a strong performance for the Trailblazers, earning All-Tournament Team honors with a top-five finish. Spahr opened the tournament with a college career-best 82. 

On the men's side, sophomore Judah Layton led the way with a two-day total of 147, shooting a +1 (73) in the first round, before following it with a +2 (74). Layton's performance earned him a top-25 finish in a field of 74 golfers. 

Sophomore Samuel Walker and senior Brady Lung each posted college career-low rounds on consecutive days. Walker improved from a +6 (78) on day one to a +4 (76) in the second round, while Lung matched that progression with rounds of 78 and 76. 

Sophomore Jacob Hicks bounced back from an 87 in the opening round to shoot a college career-low 76 (+4) on day two. Sophomore Ethan Puckett also contributed solid rounds of 83 and 80 as the Trailblazers' fifth scoring golfer.

As a team, OCU shot 312 in the opening round, before closing with a 302 on day two. The 302 tied for the fourth-lowest single-round team score in OCU golf history, while the Trailblazers' two-day total of 614 ranks among the top 10 team scores in program history.

The Trailblazers will look to carry the momentum from the Maggie Mountain into regional competition. Both the men's and the women's teams will compete at Hiden Cove Golf Course in Grayson, Kentucky on September 10-11.
