his year’s Old Dominion University golf squad will be deep with fi ve lettermen returning and a strong recruiting class. The Monarch returnees include Christopher Barach, Stan Guerrero, Kyle Hartlaub, JeffreyT Long and Matthew Watson. Newcomers include Brandon Detweiler, John Murphy, Eric Onesi, and red shirt freshman Matthew Rendell. Last year, ODU had fi ve top fi ve fi nishes and 12 top ten fi nishes. Already this Fall, the Monarchs have posted four top fi ve fi nishes, including the Joe Agee tournament title. “This has been one of the best Fall seasons in a number of years,” said ODU head coach Murray Rudisill. “ We have had seven players who have played well in tournaments and all have been under par at least once this fall.” Stan Guerrero has paced the Monarchs thus far. The junior from Tijuana, Mexico tied for fi rst at the Raines tournament before losing in a three-hole playoff. He also tied for tenth at Mid Pines. Jeffrey Long led the nation in par fi ve scoring, placed fourth at Duke and tenth at the Joe Agee tournament. Matt Watson, who earned second team All-CAA and All- 2 State honors last year tied for tenth at the Mid Pines in the fall, and placed for fourth at ODU/Seascape. Monarch newcomers have some outstanding credentials and are already showing promise for the Eric Onesi future. Delaware High School state champion and three-time Delaware junior boys champion Eric Onesi tied for second at the ODU Seascape tied for fourth at Mid Pines and seventh at Joe Agee and Eric has been nominated for the USA vs.China matches next July. Red-shirt freshman Matthew Rendell, who hails from Reading, England, tied for 20th at Duke. Brandon Detweiler won IJGT tournaments at Heritage Hills and Golden Horseshoe, and John Murphy comes to ODU from the Ledbetter Academy in Bradenton, FL. Once again, the Monarchs will be playing some of the toughest competition in the southeast this season as they look to continue the proud tradition of success that has become a staple of the Old Dominion golf program. The new Lambert’s Point golf course, that opened in 2005 next to the ODU campus provides the Monarchs with state of the art locker room facilities, offi ce space and practice facilities. “The impact of the four freshmen has really changed the dynamics of the team,”said Rudisill. “The new players have pushed the upper classmen and all four have shown the ability to shoot low scores. John Murphy shot 64 the second round of the William and Mary tournament and Eric Onesi has been under par in six rounds this Fall with a 64 at the ODU/Seascape event. These guys have helped move the team into Matthew Rendell the nation’s top50 this fall and the team fi nished 6th in the nation in par 5 scoring (4.70).” Dr. MurrayRudisill Head Coach fi ve-time conference and four-time Virginia State Coach of- the-Year, Dr. Murray Rudisill has been the head coach at Old Dominion University for 31 years.
