GAINESVILLE, Ga. – The LaGrange College golf team wrapped up its fall schedule with a ninth place finish at the Oglethorpe Fall In Invitational at the Royal Lakes golf course. The Panthers had rounds of 307 and 304 in the two-day event.

"I think we had a very successful fall season," head coach Lee Richter said. "We have some work to do in the spring. We would have liked to have done better in this tournament but we showed our youth with some of our shot decisions."

Panupat Kuahnun missed by one shot of making the all-tournament team after finishing sixth in the individual standings. He had rounds of 71 and 74 for a two-day total of 145.
