Dayton Jones
Jones carded a 76 on Friday to put him four strokes over par at 292 for the final tournament of his freshman season at Rend Lake. The 2013 NJCAA DII Men’s Golf Championships at Goose Pond Colony Plantation featured 122 golfers and some outstanding rounds – including a tournament-low 66 for medalist David Keenan of Parkland College and Steve Souchek of John A. Logan.
Jones started the tournament with a 71 and was tied for 11th. He followed that up with another 71 in the second round and moved into a tie for 9th. He slipped out of the top 10 with a three-over 74 on Thursday and shot a 76 on Friday to finish 19th.
Jones emerged this spring as RLC’s lead golfer. He tied for fourth place at the John A. Logan Spring Invite, tied for 11th at the Weist Foundation Classic in Decatur, and was The Lake’s lone national qualifier with a fourth-place tie at the Region XXIV Tournament.
South Mountain Community College in Arizona won a decisive team championship this year with four players finishing in the top 10 for combined team score of 1,139 (-13).
