Vols Close Out Opening Tournament of Spring
February 18, 2020 | Men's Golf
RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico – The No. 23 Tennessee men's golf team completed its first tournament of the spring Tuesday, finishing tied for 13th place at the 28th annual Puerto Rico Classic.
The Vols shot 11-over 299 during the tournament's third round, finishing the three-day event with an 18-over total.
"It would be an understatement to say it was not our best stuff this week in Puerto Rico, but I have no doubt that it will end up being a positive experience for this program and we will be much better because of it," head coach Brennan Webb said.
Redshirt junior Hunter Wolcott narrowly missed out on his 12th career top-25 finish, tying for 28th place (one stroke outside the top 25) after completing the tournament with a 1-under total. Wolcott's third round consisted of four birdies, giving him a three-round total of 11 in that category.
Senior Rhys Nevin gave Tennessee its second-best total score of the tournament, carding a 5-over and tying for 47th place. Redshirt sophomore Chase Roswall finished two strokes behind Nevin at 7-over, tying for 54th place.
Tied with Wolcott for Tennessee's best round of the day was senior Jake Meenhorst, who shot 1-over – marking his best round of the tournament. The Auckland, New Zealand native carded birdies on three consecutive holes Tuesday, and finished the tournament tied for 61st place.
Redshirt junior Tyler Johnson tied for 68th place, shooting 12-over for the weekend.
Up Next: Tennessee returns to action in three weeks, competing in the Lamkin Grips Classic in San Diego, Calif. on March 9 and 10.
