Savage Lets It Rip

   Scott Savage, a senior golfer from Mount Vernon Nazarene College, began the 1998 NAIA National Golf Championship by firing a first-round 76 at the Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

   Currently, Savage is tied for 18th out of 173 golfers after the first round of 18 holes on the par-70 course. He is five strokes off the lead (71).

   Savage advanced to the 72-hole national tournament by winning medalist honors at the 1998 Mid-Ohio Conference Tournament. He will tee off to start the second round of 18 holes at 7:30 a.m. CST on Wednesday, May 20. Following Wednesday's round, the field will be cut to the top 17 teams. Any individuals still among the top 40 scores will also continue towards the individual championship.
