Vols in Contention Entering Final Round at Old Waverly Collegiate
March 27, 2021 | Men's Golf
WEST POINT, Miss. – For the second straight day, the Tennessee men's golf team registered an impressive round and is set to enter the final round of the Old Waverly Collegiate Championship in fourth place.
The Vols shot 11-under for the day on Saturday and were one of only two teams in the 14-team field to have every member shoot par or better on the day. Tennessee is just four strokes out of the lead heading into Sunday's final round at Old Waverly Golf Club.
"We played very well today," head coach Brennan Webb said. "It always makes a difference in the momentum of the round when all five guys are in control of their rounds and that is what we have had the last two days.
"We are looking forward to another good day tomorrow."
For the second day in a row, Spencer Cross gave Tennessee its best round, carding a 4-under. Searching for his first collegiate individual title, Cross is 7-under overall and in sole possession of second place, just two strokes out of the overall lead. Dating back to the Tiger Invitational, the Sevierville native has now shot par or better for five consecutive rounds.
The Vols' next best rounds on Saturday came from Rhys Nevin and Bryce Lewis, who both shot 3-under during the tournament's second round. Nevin and Lewis, as well as Hunter Wolcott, are tied for 18th place entering Sunday's final round. Wolcott shot 1-under on Saturday and is on pace for his fifth top-20 finish of the season.
Despite his round not being counted in Tennessee's round two team score, Jake Hall shot even par for the day on Saturday. Hall is tied for 44th place at 1-over overall.
Competing as an individual, Tyler Johnson also shot under par on Saturday. Johnson carded a 2-under score during round two and is 3-under overall. Tied for 15th place entering the tournament's final round, Johnson is looking ot record his fifth top-15 finish as a Vol.
