Guilford Wins by 17 Strokes for 10th Title
Clark Fires 6-Under 66 to Claim Top Individual Honors
April 23, 2007

AMERST, VA –Guilford College took control of the 2007 ODAC Golf Championships from the start on Saturday afternoon and only got stronger as the tournament proceeded, winning its league record-tying 10th title by 17 strokes.  The Quakers, ranked second in the nation in at least two different polls, posted a 873 three-round total to win the event.

Senior Colin Clark overcame a seven-stroke deficit to teammate Joseph Poplin to win the individual medal honors (72-73-66=211).  Clark put all six-foot six-inches of his frame to work down the stretch, birdied the final five holes to card a six-under-par 66 and win the tournament by three strokes over Poplin (68-70-76=214).  It marked the first tournament win of the season for Clark and another near miss for Poplin.  This is the third time this season that Poplin has finished as the runner-up.

Washington & Lee University's Nathaniel James and Hampden-Sydney's Bob Boykin finished in a tie for third at 216, and Roanoke College's Billy McDonald rounded out the top five at 220.
