Tom Muto, Jr selected as Conference Carolinas Player of the Month!!!!

High Point, N.C. - Barton College's Tom Muto, Jr. has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas men's golf Player of the Month during the month of October.  Barton College senior Tom Muto Jr. just completed one of the best fall seasons in school history while leading the Bulldogs to a national ranking of No. 3 in Golfstat. Muto finished third of 105, third of 90 and second of 87 players in three team events in October. The Bulldogs beat eight teams in the top 10 nationally
to finish third of 21 teams at the AFLAC Cougar Invitational hosted by Columbus State on Oct. 5-6. Muto was the leader in the clubhouse for two hours before finishing third at 70-69--139 (-3). The next week in the Queens Invitational at the TPC of Sawgrass, Muto fired 70-72--142 (-2) to finish tied for third overall as the Bulldogs claimed the title of the 17-team field with identical even par rounds of 288. Barton's 576 was five shots clear of runner-up Florida Southern. Muto was in
contention for yet another title at the Will Wilson Southeast Regional Preview at Tanglewood Oct. 18-20 and finished just one shot off the pace again at 71-67-73--211 (+1), good for a tie for second as Barton won the 16-team event at 299-284-296--879 by two shots over USC Aiken. For the month, Muto, an Academic All-American last season and a DIII All-American at St. John Fisher before transferring to Barton,
averaged 70.29 and shot six of seven rounds at par or better. He is ranked among the top five nationally in DII scoring through four events at 70.7.

Here's a quote from the coach,"Tom has taken on a leadership role with this team, both on and off the course. We played some outstanding golf courses, and he still posted a scoring average under par, so that speaks volumes about the level of his game. He is hitting 71.6 percent of the greens in regulation, which is outstanding, and has a .658 short-game save percentage, which ranks him among the country's best. He converts 29.3 percent of his birdie opportunities and is averaging 30.3 putts per round, so his game is sharp on almost every level. He -- and all of us -- have some big goals, and we're off to a good start."

Great Job Tom.  Keep it Going!!!!!!
