🔼 Time To Finish. Battling the weather, Jacob Gunther of the ODU men’s golf squad finds himself right in the mix for a top-10 spot at the 2025 Sun Belt Championship in Madison, Miss.

The senior fired a two-under 70 in the opening round, followed by a 73 in round two to sit at one-under for the tournament, good for a tie for 11th in the individual standings headed into the final round of action today.
