WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Just two weeks removed from its first team tournament title of the season, the seventh-ranked Tennessee men's golf team captured a second straight team win, claiming a 12-stroke victory at the Purdue Fall Invitational Tuesday.

Redshirt junior Bryce Lewis completed the sweep for the Vols, capturing the individual title by four full strokes, shooting 8-under for the tournament.

The team title marked Tennessee's seventh under the direction of head coach Brennan Webb and second occurrence of back-to-back title wins after the Vols won the first two tournaments of Webb's tenure in 2018-19.

Lewis' win stands as the second of his collegiate career—joining the 2021 Country Club of Birmingham Invitational. It also marks the sixth time a Vol has won an individual title under Webb's direction. Lewis is the first Vol to win multiple individual titles since Webb arrived on Rocky Top.

In addition to Lewis' title-winning performance, the other four members of Tennessee's lineup also showed out—each finishing inside the top 30.

Redshirt sophomore Cade Russell recorded his best career finish as a member of Tennessee's lineup—shooting 1-over and finishing tied for seventh place. Russell shot two rounds under par and contributed three counting rounds for the Vols.

Redshirt freshman Lance Simpson, competing in his third collegiate tournament, recorded his second straight top-20 finish—tying for 16th place. Simpson shot 6-over in round one before improving to even par in round two and 1-under in round three—both counting rounds for the Vols.

Giving Tennessee a fourth top-25 finisher, redshirt junior Jake Hall recorded his fifth career top-25 finish with a 7-over performance.

Contributing two counting rounds for the Vols, Caleb Surratt finished tied for 29th place. Surratt rebounded from a 9-over score in round two to shoot even par in Tuesday's final round—his team-high-tying seventh round of par or better this season.
