The Vols travels to College Grove, Tennessee to take part in the 14-team tournament
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The University of Tennessee men's golf team plays in its first of two tournaments this week, traveling to College Grove, Tennessee to take part in the Intercollegiate at the Grove.
The field features 14 teams with the Vols entering as one of four teams from the state of Tennessee including Lipscomb, host Middle Tennessee State and Tennessee Tech.
Tennessee ended September at the Inverness Intercollegiate where it placed second in the 15-team field. The Vols had a lead going into the final round and nearly defended their title. Tennessee topped all three SEC teams that were in the field in LSU, Auburn and Missouri.
For the second tournament of the season, Rhys Nevin and Spencer Cross led the Vols on the leaderboard as both players tied for 11th, individually. This marks the second consecutive top-25 finish for the duo and the second top-15 finish for Nevin after tying for fourth at the Carpet Capital Collegiate.
After two competitions, the Cheshire, England native leads the team with a 71.83 scoring average while also having a team-best three rounds of par or better and two rounds in the 60s.
Redshirt junior Chip Thomas joined them inside of the top 20 placing 17th at the Inverness Intercollegiate. So far this season, Thomas has counted for the team score in all six rounds of competition.
Tomorrow's first round is scheduled for a shotgun start at 10:00 a.m. (ET) as Tennessee tees off between No. 6 and No. 9 at the The Grove Club. The Vols will be paired with host Middle Tennessee, Lipscomb and South Alabama on the opening day of play.
