LCCC's Kurt Anderson (Edison-Berlin Hts) posted a 77 today (73-71-77) in Third Round play. Unfortunately, this moved Kurt back to a T-9 going into the last round of the NJCAA Div III National Golf Championships in Chautauqua, NY. Scores were generally higher today because of wind and the increasingly faster conditions of the golf course.
LCCC's Kurt Anderson (Edison-Berlin Hts) posted a Second Round score of 1-under par 71 today in the NJCAA Division III Nat'l Golf Championship. Kurt's 2-Round total of 144 is at even-par for the tournament and currently good for a T-3rd place. The leader of the Tournament is at 137. Today's weather was cool but the wind slowed and no rain developed. The 3rd Round is on Thursday and the 72-hole tournament ends on Friday June 5.
LCCC student-athlete Kurt Anderson (Edison HS-Berlin Hts, OH) posted a First Round Score of 35-38 = 73.

The NJCAA Div III Golf Championship is a 72-Hole Tournament which concludes on Friday June 5. It was a cool 55 degrees at the start of the round. Approximately 100 golfers from around the country are participating this week at Chautauqua Golf Club in Chautauqua, NY.
