VESTAVIA HILLS, Ala. – The Tennessee men's golf team held steady Monday during round two of the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate, remaining in fourth place entering the third and final round of play.

The Vols shot 3-under 277 for the day on Monday, bringing their two-round total to 9-under. For the second day in a row, Tennessee has three golfers inside the top 20 on the individual leaderboard.

"We let a few go at the end of the round today," head coach Brennan Webb said. "Another solid round by Jake Hall, which included him hitting all 18 greens in regulation.

"We need to have all five guys in the game tomorrow and get some momentum going to finish out a great fall season."

For the second consecutive day in his debut tournament as a member of Tennessee's lineup, Jake Hall shot under par, carding a 2-under 68 on Monday. With four birdies on the day, Hall maintained his position as the Vols' best individual score, with a two-round tally of 6-under 134.

Hall, whose highest career finish competing as an individual is 20th place, is tied for sixth place overall entering round three.

Hunter Wolcott gave Tennessee its best score during round two, shooting 3-under 67 to edge out Hall by one stroke. Wolcott shot birdies on three of his final five holes and enters the third round within striking distance of a second top-five finish this fall, currently sitting tied for ninth place.

Tied for 20th place, Rhys Nevin remains as the Vols' third top-20 performer, and like Hall and Wolcott, recorded a round of par or better for the second straight day. Nevin shot even par on Monday, bringing his two-round total to 1-under 139.

Tennessee's final counting came from Spencer Cross, who shot a 2-over 72 on Monday. Cross is 3-over 143 and tied for 43rd place and heading into Tuesday's final round.

Bryce Lewis shot 7-over for the day and is 9-over 149 for the tournament overall. He is in 64th place following round two.
