Golf team* By Tracy Helms 8t?ff Writer USC's men's golf squad placed (sixth in both the Furman InKercollegiate and Pinehurst InJvitational tournaments over the I spring holiday. The golfing Gamecocks tallied 873 points to finish nine strokes behind Tennessee's winning 864 at the Furman tourney. Wake Forest placed second with an 868 combination followed by Alabama and Clemson tied for third, Georgia and USC. "The Furman tournament was by far the best we have played all year," USC Head Golf Coach Bobby Foster observed. "Losing to Tennessee by nine shots is not a whole lot for a three-day tournament." Foster added that the tourney's field of 27 "was the best field we've faced in two or three years." Joey Graham's 216 total paced the Gamecocks individually and claimed |12th-placed honors for the large field. Steve Liebler and George MacDonald keyed the Gamecocks to the UNIVERS OF SOUTl ? YiWj >k.

"Liebler and MacDonald had fine first rounds (71 and 73, respectively) but nobody else helped them," Foster said. "The second day of the tournament was the eighth day in a row we had played in competition, and that may have been too much. "We now have a two-week break before our next tournament, so we can get in some serious practice," Foster said. "We have three more tournaments remaining and we need to play well in them to better our chances of getting an NCAA tournament bid."

The Lady Gamecocks carded a three-day total of 972, compared to North Carolina's winning 965, in the Duke tourney. USC led the i8-team field for two rounds, taking a fivestroke advantage over UNC into the final day. Robin Abare put together a 236 total to tie for third individually. "The fact that our number-five player Julie Loebs led the tournament with an opening-day 73 shows that we've got a lot of depth for a firstyear," Foster commented.

"Our first and third rounds were excellent, yet our second round was fair," Foster recalled. "But six out of Golf World Magazine's top 10 teams competed in the tournament, so finishing eighth is not bad at all."
