FARMVILLE, Va. – Josh Cummins carded his first career win for Longwood men's golf, and the Big South Conference announced he was the Big South Men's Golf Freshman of the Week this afternoon.
 
Cummins won the Larry and Wally Edgell Battle at Brunswick last weekend, leading a field of 95 players at the Brunswick Plantation & Golf Resort in Calabash, North Carolina.
 
The Lancer freshman was one of two players to finish below par, with his 73-71-70—214 (-2) giving him medalist honors by one stroke.
 
In addition, he finished with 10 birdies and did not have anything worse than a bogey in the 54 holes. That run included a first round that featured severe weather that caused a weather delay.
 
He entered the final round with the lead, and he fired five birdies in his final round to ensure he won.
 
He is the second Lancer to earn Freshman of the Week honors, joining Matthew Hartley, who garnered the accolade on February 26.
 
The Lancers return to the course at the Golden Horseshoe Intercollegiate on Monday and Tuesday, March 23-24, at the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club in Williamsburg, Virginia.
