Elon Men’s Golf Completes Round One of CAA Championships

MIDLOTHIAN, Va. – Jake Leavitt led the way on day one and is in the top-10 individually as the Elon University men’s golf team completed the first round of the 2017 CAA Men’s Golf Championships on Friday, April 21, at Salisbury Country Club.

RESULTS | ROUND TWO TEE TIMES

Elon finished the round with a three over-par 291 and has three individauls in the top-25 after day one. The Phoenix currently stands in a tie for sixth with James Madison and is just a stroke away from entering the top-five. Three-time defending CAA Champion College of Charleston leads the tournament by seven strokes after round one.

The senior is currently in a tie for 17th. Philip Loeb was Elon’s third competitor in the top-25, as his two-over 74 places him in a tie for 25th individually.
