Junior Robert Ehrhardt Wins Individual Title And Leads Wesley To 2012 CAC Golf Championship

Wesley College junior Robert Ehrhardt won the individual title by seven strokes, earned CAC Player of the Year honors, and led the Wolverines to the 2012 CAC golf championship, the team's third in the five-year history of the tournament.

Wesley finish with a two-day score of 615, eight strokes better than defending CAC champion Stevenson's 623.  York finished third with 632, followed by Marymount (642) and Hood (718).

After being the only player under par on the first day of the championship, Ehrhardt posted the second-best score of the second-day of the tournament, a two-over par 74 to finish the two-day event with a 145 score.  That is the lowest two-day score in CAC championship history.

Two of Ehrhardt's teammates finished among the top six individuals in the tournament. 

Freshman Cody Pestun was third after the first day of play and finished the tournament in a tie for third with Stevenson freshman Sean Cavanaugh, each with a two-day total of 153, earning Co-Rookie of the Year recognition for both golfers.

Ehrhardt's classmate Clayton Bunting, the 2010 CAC Rookie of the Year, tied for sixth place in the championship with Marymount senior Peter Johns.  Each scored a two-day total of 155.

Stevenson's second-place finish was led by Cavanaugh and 2011 CAC Player and Rookie of the Year Ben Lukehart.  Lukehart finished second individually with a two-day total of 152. 

In addition to earning first-team All-CAC as one of the top five scorers in the championship, Lukehart was also presented the third-annual Andrew Geyer Award, presented annually by Wesley College in honor of former Wolverine standout Andrew Guyer, to recognize a CAC golfer for "outstanding academic credentials, athletics, citizenship and community service."

Lukehart's older brother, Stevenson grad Matt Lukehart, was the first winner of the Andrew Geyer Award in 2010.

York's Travis Oot rounded out the top five scorers in the 2012 CAC Championship.  Oot posted the lowest score of Saturday's second round - a one-over-par 73 - to finish the championship 10-over par (154).

The coaches selected Rick McCall of the champion Wolverines and York's Jeff Gamber as the 2012 CAC Co-Coaches of the Year.  It was the second time McCall (2010) and Gamber (2009) were honored by their peers.
