Junior fires 4-under-par 68 to post Top 10 finish

            Enoch's efforts helped lift the Buccaneer men's golf team from a second round finish of 14^th to a final round showing of 12^th in a quality 15-team field. ETSU carded a 7-over 871 for the tournament, while Florida State posted a team score of 30-under 834 and cruised to the championship with a 16-stroke advantage over second place Texas Tech in the team competition.

            Individually, Enoch ended the tournament a 5-under-par and was 10 strokes back of individual champion Kyle Kopsick of Auburn. Kopsick's 15-under 201 effort bested Florida State's Seath Lauer by two strokes.

            Along with Enoch, other ETSU results included a tie for 22^nd by sophomore Michael Stewart (Troon, Scotland), who finished at 2-under 214 (73-69-72). Meanwhile, senior Seamus Power (Waterford, Ireland) tied for 56^th, while sophomore Devin Komline (Dorset, Vermont) finished tied for 62^nd.

            The Bucs will return to action Oct. 12 in the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate in Birmingham, Ala. ETSU men's golf fans can follow the Bucs throughout the 2009-2010 season by visiting ETSUBucs.com and clicking on the men's golf link.
