James Weinberger carded a 38 for nine holes as the Person golf team earned its first duals victory of the season, 172-185, over Bartlett Yancey Wednesday at the Roxboro Country Club.

Coming off a fifth-place finish in the first Piedmont Athletic Conference tourney on Monday at Chapel Hill where they struggled with their short game, the Rockets played better around the greens on Wednesday.

Person competes in the season’s second conference match on Monday (2 p.m.) at the Falls Village course in Durham. Southern Durham is the host team in that one.

“Obviously we’re a little more used to the greens at the Roxboro course because we play there a lot, so hopefully we’ll be able to adjust to the faster greens at Falls Village,” said Rocket coach Mark Lunsford.

Brice Mitchell shot a 42, followed by a 45 from Brett Perkins and a 47 from Zeb Barnette. Justin Christy and Trey Wright were also among the six starters for Person on Wednesday.

Lunsford said his team gained some good experience and played well on a soggy Roxboro course. He is hopeful that Wednesday’s effort will carry over into Monday’s PAC-6 contest.
