BATON ROUGE, La. – The Tennessee men's golf team concluded its second tournament of the spring Sunday, completing the third and final round of the LSU Invitational and notching a seventh-place finish for the weekend.

Playing through tough weather conditions on an already difficult course, the Vols shot a three-round total of 28-over 892.

"We didn't have our best on a tough golf course in some very difficult conditions this week, but I was very proud of the way our team fought to the end each round," head coach Brennan Webb said. "This fight made a huge difference in our finish and will prove to be a valuable skill as we advance towards postseason."

For the third time during the 2020-21 season, Hunter Wolcott was Tennessee's highest finisher, tying for 13th place. Wolcott shot 4-over 220 for the weekend and recorded his 12th career top-15 finish. The bounce-back performance comes on the heels of a 99th-place finish at the Gators Invitational earlier this month, which was the lowest of Wolcott's Tennessee career.

Rhys Nevin also finished inside the top-15, totaling a 5-over 221 and tying for 15th place. It marks Nevin's 23rd career top-25 finish, which leads the team.

Jake Hall had the third-best score of the weekend by a Vol while competing as an individual, shooting 9-over 225 and tying for 38th place in his second tournament action of the 2020-21 season.

Tying for 49th place, Bryce Lewis was the third-highest finisher in Tennessee's lineup, shooting 11-over 227 for the weekend. All three of Lewis' rounds counted in the Vols' lineup over the course of the tournament, bringing his season-long total to 13 counting rounds (86.7 percent).

Spencer Cross gave Tennessee its' fourth counting round on Sunday and contributed two counting rounds for the weekend. Cross tied for 65th place and shot 15-over 231. In his first action as a member of the Vols' lineup during the 2020-21 season, Tyler Johnson tied for 74th, shooting 18-over 234.

Tennessee is set to return to action in just over two weeks at the Tiger Invitational in Opelika, Alabama, hosted by Auburn. Play is scheduled to run from March 15-17.
