Grove City Brings Home PAC Men's Golf Title

April 23, 1999--After four consecutive runner-up finishes, Grove City captured the championship title at the 1999 Presidents' Athletic Conference Men's Golf Championship, held at Oglebay's Speidel Golf Course in Wheeling, WV.  The Wolverines defeated five-time defending champion Washington & Jefferson by nine shots over 27 holes.  Friday's final round was cut to nine holes due to rain.  W&J's Matt Henry (Bradenton, FL) earned medalist honors with a nine-over-par 116, four shots ahead of Grove City's Nate Miklos (Hermitage, PA/Kennedy Christian), who finished 13 over.  Grove City's first-year head coach John Marhefka was named PAC Coach of the Year.   The Wolverines last won the PAC crown in 1991.
