Live Scoring

SANDESTIN, Fla. -- Powered by a commanding victory at the NCAA DIII Championship Preview, the Christopher Newport men's golf team has shot up to No. 1 for the first time in program history, according to the GolfStat Team Rankings. The Captains will look to continue the dominant start to the 2022-23 seaason this week as they take on another talented field at the Golfweek Fall Invitational in Florida. 

The most recent Bushnell/Golfweek Division III Coaches Poll listed the Captains as the No. 5 ranked team in the nation, but that ranking was released on September 30 just before an impressive 54-hole win at the Championship Preview for CNU. Senior Alex Price sailed to individual medalist honors in the tournament, and has also climbed in the GolfStat Player Rankings.

After two tournaments this Fall, CNU now ranked atop the list of 286 Division III men's golf programs with an adjusted scoring average of 72.62. Price ranks second among ranked players with a 70.20 adjusted scoring average and trails only Michael Vick (69.96) in Division III. Three Captains are ranked in the top-75 with rookie Austin Smith at 47th (73.29) and senior Robb Kinder sitting at 62nd (73.92). 

The Captains starting five also included Jack Gessaman and Owen Cook in the first two tournaments and each have scored at least one round at par or better. Gessaman is averaging 75.8 and Cook 79.7 through the first six rounds this season. 

The Golfweek Fall Invitational will pit the Captains against another highly-ranked field for three rounds at the Raven Golf Club in Sandestin, Fla. Twenty-four teams are scheduled to participate in the 54-hole event including 17 teams ranked in the Top 50 on the GolfStat rankings.
