Morehouse cruises to another SIAC Golf Championship

The Morehouse College golf team dominated the competition as they took home their second consecutive SIAC Golf Championship. At the end of the 3-day event all five Morehouse golfers finished in the top five led by Olajuwon Ajanaku and Bryan McElderry, who both finished with a score of 225. As a team the Maroon Tigers scored a 908, easily winning this year’s event by an astonishing 104 strokes.

Paine College finished in second place with a score of 1012, followed by Benedict College who finished with a score of 1064.

As to be expected, the Maroon Tigers dominated the post-tournament awards with all five golfers making the All-Tournament team. Bryan McElderry was named Tournament MVP after beating teammate Olajuwon Ajanaku in a playoff round.

Morehouse’s Bill Lewis won the Coach of the Year award for the second consecutive year.
