August 09, 2020 | Men's Golf
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Five Vols – Spencer Cross, Brayden Garrison, Bryce Lewis, Rhys Nevin and Hunter Wolcott – are set to be part of the 264-golfer field at this week's 120th U.S. Amateur in Bandon, Ore.
The five current players are believed to be the most ever from UT to play in the U.S. Amateur at one time.
In 2002, Ross McGowan, David Skinns, John Scott Rattan and Andrew Pratt gave Tennessee four golfers in the field, while in 2000 and 2012, UT had three golfers competing.
This year's U.S. Amateur runs Aug. 10-16, with the first two days featuring 18 holes of stroke play apiece, before moving into match play for the remainder of the event.
Vol golfers have had past success at the U.S. Amateur. Oliver Goss finished runner-up in 2013, while Eric Rebmann finished runner-up in 1987.
