Koon Earns All-Conference in Golf
Senior Places 7th at USA South Tournament
 
Ferrum, Va. -- Ferrum College senior Chris Koon (Roanoke, Va./William Byrd) has earned All-Conference second team honors in men's golf in the USA South Athletic Conference for the 2003-04 season.

          2004 USA South Golf Tournament

Koon shot a six over par 150 at last weekend's 2004 USA South Golf Tournament, held April 17-18 at Ford's Colony Country Club in Williamsburg, Virginia.

Koon was in third place after the first day of competition with a two over par 74.  He closed with a 76 in the second round, securing a spot on the All-Conference team.  Ferrum's last All-Conference honor came in 2000 when Jeff Greenfield was also a second-team honoree.

Koon helped Ferrum place fourth at the USA South Tournament, a three-spot jump from last year's finish.  The Panthers were led this year by first-year Head Coach Jeremy Viens.  For more information, please contact the Ferrum College Sports Information Office at (540) 365-4306.
