 Monarchs finish in third place at the National Championship
Nick Bova and Adam Horton finish tied for fifth overall
LINCOLN, NE-  The Monarch Men's Golf team was consistent, steady, and dominant for most of the 2006 season.  They took that strategy all the way to Lincoln, Nebraska in search of their first national title since 1999.  The Monarchs fell just short, finishing third with a score of 1210. 

Nebraska Wesleyan, playing on familiar territory at the Firethorn Golf Club was too much for the rest of the field, winning the championship by ten strokes with an 1193.  The University of Redlands was second, followed by Methodist, Oglethorpe, and Guilford.

Adam Horton and Nick Bova both shot a 298, to finish tied for fifth overall.  Cory Schneider shot a 303 to finish in sixteenth overall.  Other Methodist scores include Matt Bova's 318 and Brant Dixon with a 328.  Medalist honors went to the University of Rochester's Stephen Goodridge who fired a 289, edging out John Jennison of Rhodes (291) and Nick Obie (292) of the University of Redlands.

The Monarchs hung around all week with daily scores of 303, 300, 302 and 305.  Fourteen of Methodist's sixteen scores for the week were between 72 and 77.

The final results from the 2006 National Championship follow...
