TRIBE NOTES
 
Last Time Out
The Tribe earned a T-8 finish in the 14-team River Run Collegiate, hosted by Davidson, on Sept. 11-12. W&M played River Run Golf Club in 28-over 868, with their best score coming in the second round, totaling 285. Freshman Preston Burton continued the strong start to his college career, coming T-11 at 1-over-par. He posted back-to-back 69's to close out the event. Jake Newman and Luke Walmet posted even-par scores of 70 during the tournament, with Newman's coming in the second round and Walmet's in the first.
 
Not Bad, Rook
Burton's T-11 finish at Davidson followed a T-7 placing in his collegiate debut at the Red Bandanna Intercollegiate in upstate New York. The freshman has led the Tribe in the first two events of the season and has found red figures in three of his last four rounds. 
 
Back in the Old-Line State
The Tribe returns to Maryland for the first time since 2021 to play in the Georgetown Intercollegiate. The event moved to Liberty National last year, however the Tribe didn't participate. The 2021 event was played at the Members Club at Four Streams with the Green and Gold finishing seventh out of 12 teams. Logan Hunter led the Tribe, navigating the 54 holes in 1-under-par 212. He shot 69-67 in the first two rounds.
 
Fire Up the Van!
After a relatively lengthy hiatus the Tribe will have a jam-packed conclusion to their fall season. Following this weekend's event in Maryland, W&M will travel to Greenville, S.C. for the Furman Intercollegiate next Sunday and Monday. The fall will conclude with the Bryan National Collegiate on Oct. 29-31 hosted by UNCG.

The Course
The North at Woodmont Country Club is the club's original championship course, opening in 1950 under the watchful eye of course architect Alfred Tull. The course, currently measuring at a hefty 7,390 yards from the championship tees, went under an extensive renovation in 1999 and had its 18^th hole redone in 2018 in preparation for the 2020 U.S. Women's Amateur. The LPGA Tour's budding star, Rose Zhang, captured the 2020 U.S. Women's Am title in the longest championship match in tournament history, outlasting Gabriela Ruffels in 38 holes. The par-72 track has hosted final qualifying for the U.S. Open since 1987, and occasionally qualifying for the U.S. Women's Open. A hole to watch is the 430-yard par-4 17^th which has water pressed up against the front and left part of the green. PGA Tour player Denny McCarthy said about the 17^th, "Miss the fairway and 4 is a great score. Hit the fairway and you can challenge the green of a great par 4."
