Hole-in-One by O'Mahony Gives Nova One Shot Lead After Second Round of SSC Tournament

WINTER HAVEN â€" Seldom does a hole-in-one prove to be the difference in a tournament. Actually, seldom is there a hole-in-one, but an ace by Nova Southeastern’s Greg O’Mahony was indeed the margin after round two of the Sunshine State Conference Tournament.

That hole-in-one by O’Mahony came on hole #3 in the second of two rounds played on Monday. By the end of the day, it stood as the difference in the Nova’s one-stroke lead over second-place Barry. The Sharks were 11-under par thanks in large part to their senior All-American who had rounds of 70 and 66. In addition to the eagle on #3, he added another one on the par-five #11 hole.

Even then, O’Mahony had to share the best round of the day. Barry’s Carlos Velez also shot a six-under 66 in round two, which also featured an eagle on #11. That helped the Buccaneers to a team score of 10-under par, while Velez trailed O’Mahony by two shots in the race for medalist honors.

The Bucs were leading the tournament after Monday’s first round, primarily behind the play of Victor Billskoog and Daniel Stapf. Billskoog shot a three-under par 69, and Stapf had a 71. Billskoog had an impressive finish to his opening round of 69. After a pair of early double bogeys, the junior birdied six of his final 12 holes. That included one on the par-five, 570-yard hole #9, the longest on the course.

Eckerd’s Thomas Mathiassen matched Billskoog with a 69, but none of his teammates did better than a 74. That left the Tritons in third place after the first round, trailing the Buccaneers by six strokes. Mathiassen then slumped badly in the second round, shooting an 83 to fall out of the running.

The afternoon belonged to Nova Southeastern. In addition to the 66 by O’Mahony, the Sharks also got a 68 from Ben Vertz, a 70 from Byron White and a 71 from Bobby Bode. That added up to a 13-under par 275 for the Sharks, which allowed them to barely overtake the Buccaneers.

The Bucs had to count nothing worse than a 72 in the second round and shot 280 as a team.

Host Florida Southern, which won the conference title in 2008, got a 71 from Brian Richey and a 72 from Rob Gleixner in round one, but Jude Eustaquio shot a 76 and Matt Stauch shot a 78. Heading into the tournament, Eustaquio and Stauch had been the Moccasins’ top two golfers. Those scores put the Mocs in sixth place halfway through the day, 11 strokes behind Barry.

The Mocs re-grouped after the break as Eustaquio and Stauch responded by each shooting a 71. Richey also had a 71 while Danny Evelyn carded a 75 for the Mocs’ final counter. Those scores moved Florida Southern past Lynn and Eckerd and into fourth place at the end of the day; but the Mocs were still 20 strokes behind Nova Southeastern, leaving them in a race for third with Rollins.

The final round of the SSC Tournament begins on Tuesday morning with an 8:30 shotgun start at Lake Region Yacht and Country Club.
