Nelson claims top honor, signs to play in college

By BRAD NORMAN

It was a pretty good week for Mooresville golfer Josh Nelson.

First, Nelson continued his torrid shooting late in the season at the North Piedmont 3A championship match.

He carded a 74, which was enough to claim the NPC’s individual title for the second consecutive year.

Nelson trailed Lake Norman’s Will Cotter in the standings for much of the season but shot a 37 or better in four of his final five NPC matches to vault to the top.

“I started striking the ball a lot better of the tees,” Nelson said. “I just kept it down the middle.”

At the end of his late-season surge, Nelson signed with Brevard College to play golf.

“I liked the area, and I really liked the coach,” Nelson said. “I liked that they were in the rebuilding process, and I could make an immediate impact at their school.”

Nelson also has his eyes on medalist honors at Tuesday’s Iredell County golf championships.

“Hopefully I can play good, a little better than I did last year,” Nelson said. “I just didn’t have anything fall.”
