OPELIKA, Ala. – The Tennessee men's golf team is tied for fourth place through two rounds at the Tiger Invitational, as teams played an extra round than originally scheduled on Monday.

After shooting 2-under 286 as a team during the first round, the Vols improved on that in round two with an 8-under 280 mark as a team, which was the second-best team score in the field during the second round. No member of Tennessee's lineup shot over par during round two.

Hunter Wolcott led the way for the Vols on Monday, shooting 2-under during round one and 5-under during round two. At 7-under 137 overall, Wolcott is tied for fourth place entering the tournament's final round.
