Indian golfers win tourney

Southeast Missouri State's golf team finished first out of 15 teams in the Pizza Hut Classic in Jackson, Miss., Monday.

The top three teams finished just one stroke apart. The Indians combined for a 610, while second place Tennessee Tech finished at 611 and Centenary Louisiana ended with a 612.

Sophomore Matt Hillis and junior Kent Phillips tied for fifth individually. Each shot a 151 over the two day event.

Senior Woody Hill also finished in the top ten with a 153. Sophomore Brian Sheehan had a 155 and senior Jimmy Blose finished at 169.

The team won its first event of the spring season despite spending just three days outside during the month of January.

"It's not been real good golfing weather in Cape Girardeau," coach Carroll Williams said. Williams is in his 22nd year with the team.
