Charlie Spencer-White finishes tied for second and Blue Demons finish second as a team
OKATIE, S.C. – A pair of program bests were set on Sunday at the BIG EAST Championship as Charlie Spencer-White marked the top finish for a DePaul golfer in a tie for second and the Blue Demons matched their best team finish in second place at the league tournament.

The senior shot a 75 (+3) in the third round for a tournament score of 217 (+1). Xavier's Garrett Wood won the individual title with a score of 216 (E). Previously, Freddy Thomas held the top finish for a Blue Demons when he tied for third at the 2015 tournament.
Joe McCarthy joined Spencer-White in the top 10 as his 54-hole total of 221 (+5) put him in a group in eighth place. McCarthy finished his tournament with a 74 (+2) on Sunday. This marks the second consecutive year that McCarthy and Spencer-White have posted top 10 finishes at Callawassie Island Club in the conference championship.
