Men's Golfer of the Week

Jonathan McCurry, UNC Pembroke
Sr., Sanford, N.C.

McCurry finished in a three-way tie for the win at the Magnolia Invitational, shooting a two-under-par 211 in three rounds along with teammate Jordan Walor and West Georgia's Bryn Powers.  Although Walor took the medalist title on a scorecard playoff, it was McCurry who made headlines with his second-round 63, setting a course record and tying the PBC mark for the lowest single round ever shot.  The senior had 10 birdies and two bogeys in his round, matching an 18-year-old UNCP school record.  It was the fourth 63 shot in conference history, the last by Lander's Davis Lee in 2010.n  McCurry has now finished in the top 10 in his last three tournamentes with two in the top five.  He is now second in the Peach Belt with a 72.3 stroke average, one-tenth behind teammate Walor.
