Vols conclude fall tournament schedule in Jonesborough, Tenn.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee men's golf team will close out its fall schedule at the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate in Jonesborough, Tenn.
After winning two team titles to kick off the year, a third would tie the program record in a single season. The Bank of Tennessee will have five of the top 50 schools competing according to the latest Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings in the likes of No. 50 Kent State, No. 12 Louisville, No. 15 Penn State, No. 6 Tennessee and No. 44 Virginia.
Combined, those schools have won the Bank of Tennessee eight times in the tournament's 21 year history with the Vols claiming the team title on three separate occasions. Tennessee's last team title in Jonesborough came in 2009 finishing with a three-round total of 861 (-3). Penn State enters the tournament as the defending champions.
Coach Brennan Webb makes one change to the starting five this week as sophomore Spencer Cross enters the starting five. Cross finished third as an individual at the Inverness Intercollegiate with two rounds under par.
The Vols will tee off of hole No. 1 at 10:10 a.m. (ET) and will be paired with East Tennessee State and Louisville for the opening round of play.
Format: The tournament is being played at the Par 72, 7,147 yards Blackthorn Club at the Ridges in Jonesborough, Tenn. This is the 21st year of the event.
