Wheeling University Men’s Golf Team Records Three Second-Place Finishes

Freshman Cormac Pearson shot nine under par through two rounds to anchor the Wheeling University Cardinals men’s golf fall season.

The Cardinals averaged 292 shots per round across five events, Wheeling University Athletics reported. The team notched three second-place finishes during the fall slate, including one at the Mountain East Men’s Golf Championships.

Pearson led the team with a 72 scoring average. His collegiate career opened with a first-place finish on the Cardinals team and a tie for eighth overall.

Pearson secured third place at the MEC Championships as the team’s top finisher. At the final invitational of the fall, he fired a round of 65, tying teammate Sean Dobson for the team’s lowest single-round score.

Dobson, a graduate student, averaged 73 shots per round. He opened the season with a 12th-place finish overall, trailing Pearson by just one stroke for the team lead.

Dobson carded a 65 in a single round earlier in the season, holding that program mark alone for a month before Pearson matched it. He placed fifth overall at the MEC Championships to help the Cardinals claim second place as a team.

Sophomore Lodin Femoen also averaged 73 shots per round. Femoen competed in two invitationals and the MEC Championships, finishing inside the top 20 in all three appearances.

He finished 15th overall in his first event at six over par through three rounds. He followed with a 19th-place finish at the Pitt-Johnstown Invitational and a 16th-place finish at the MEC Championships.

Senior Brandon Lee averaged 74 shots across four events after a strong finish to the fall schedule. Following struggles in his first two invitationals, Lee placed 13th and 11th overall in his final two outings.

He also had a first-place finish on the Cardinals team at the Findlay Invitational. The Cardinals men’s golf team returns to competition for the spring season.
