Vols Finish Tied for Fourth at Vanderbilt Legends Collegiate
October 27, 2020 | Men's Golf
FRANKLIN, Tenn. – The Tennessee men's golf team closed out its second fall tournament of the year, tying for fourth place in a field composed of all 14 SEC schools at the Vanderbilt Legends Collegiate.
The Vols finished the three-round event 24-under par with three top-25 finishers. Dating to the beginning of last season, it marks Tennessee's sixth top-four finish as a team.
"It was a very solid week for us," head coach Brennan Webb said. "It's a great indication of the depth of our team that we didn't have anyone finish inside the top 15 and we were still able to finish fourth.
"That type of depth will serve us well as the season progresses."
For the fourth consecutive tournament dating to last season, redshirt freshman Bryce Lewis finished inside the top-20, tying for 18th place after carding a 6-under 207. During Tuesday's final round, Lewis recorded his second straight round in the 60s with a 2-under 69.
All six of Lewis' rounds so far this fall have been par or better.
Spencer Cross and Rhys Nevin gave Tennessee its other two top-25 finishes, tying for 24th place. Cross and Nevin each recorded three-round totals of 5-under 208, with rounds of 70 and 67 on Tuesday, respectively.
Nevin finished the tournament with rounds of 66 and 67 to his credit – which stand as two of his five lowest rounds as a Vol. The top-25 finish also marked the 20th of Nevin's Tennessee career – a mark that leads the team.
Brayden Garrison finished tied for 35th place, carding a three-round total of 2-under 211. Garrison recorded his second straight round under par on Tuesday, shooting a 70 to follow up his 67 on Monday.
Tying for 53rd place was Hunter Wolcott, who shot 2-over 215 for the week. Two of Wolcott's three rounds for the week counted in Tennessee's team score.
Tennessee is back in action in just under two weeks on Nov. 9 at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate, hosted by Alabama in Vestavia Hills, Alabama, at the Old Overton Club.
