CHAPEL HILL — For the fourth time this season, the Person golf team ended up with a fifth-place finish in the season’s fifth Piedmont Athletic Conference match Monday afternoon at the Chapel Hill Country Club.

Chapel Hill was the host team and notched third place with a team score of 155, two shots behind second-place Riverside (153) and 11 back of match-winner East Chapel Hill (144).

Northern Durham placed fourth at 163 while the Rockets ended with a team score of 165 and were led by senior Joe Weinberger, who’s committed to attend Wake Forest University next year.

Weinberger had the third best score of the match with a 37, but no other Person player could break 40.

Brice Mitchell and James Weinberger carded 41s, and Brett Perkins was next in line with a 46.

Despite not gaining any ground in their quest for a top-four finish in the conference standings, Rocket coach Mark Lunsford said the performance was an improvement over last Thursday’s fifth-place effort at the Roxboro Country Club.

But he said the team needs to put together a solid nine-hole effort from beginning to end.

“Overall, I thought we played well considering it was raining and it’s a tough course,” he said. “We just have to have a day where we put it together for the whole match.”

Northern currently holds the first-place position in the overall conference standings by just one point over ECH and two points over Chapel Hill and Riverside, who are tied for third.

The fifth-place Rockets are five points out of fourth place.

On Monday, the other finishers were Jordan in sixth with a 167, Hillside in seventh with a 214, and Southern Durham in eighth with a 223.

Person had a duals match at Oxford Webb on Tuesday, and resumes conference play at the sixth PAC-6 match Thursday at the Hope Valley Golf Course in Durham, with Jordan serving as the host team.
