Men’s Golf: Leasure tops Cavaliers at Sharkey Individual Collegiate

Playing in just his second collegiate event, Virginia sophomore Jaron Leasure was Virginia’s top finisher among five entrants at Georgia Southern’s Thomas Sharkey Individual Collegiate. Leasure finished the two-day, 54-hole event at 4-over 220 and tied for third place. Georgia Southern’s Mason Williams won the tournament at 5-under 211. He was the only player in the 45-competitor field to shoot under par.

Leasure had plenty of company from his UVA teammates near the top of the leaderboard.

Sophomore Chris Fosdick was one shot behind him in fifth place at 221. Like Leasure, Fosdick shot 1-under 71 during Monday’s final round.

Sophomore George Duangmanee placed seventh at 224 while senior Sam Jung and freshman Devel Patel tied for 10th place at 9-over 225.

Virginia will play in its first team-scoring tournament of the spring when the Cavaliers travel to Florida State for the Camp Creek Seminole Invitational set for Feb. 20-22.
