April 20, 2022 | Men's Golf
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – A 1-under outing from Spencer Cross led the way for Tennessee Wednesday as the Vols began postseason play at the SEC Championships.
Â
Tennessee shot 12-over as a team during round one and is in 13th place entering round two. Following Friday's third round, the top eight teams in the field will move on to match play. The Vols are just seven strokes back from the top eight of the field.
Â
Coming off his first career individual title last week at the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial, Cross was one of only 17 golfers in the 70-man field to shot below par. The senior made three birdies on Wednesday on his way to a 1-under performance and is tied for 13th place—just three strokes back from the individual lead.
Â
In his only previous career appearance at the SEC Championships, Cross finished in fourth place overall at the event in 2021.
Â
Bryce Lewis gave Tennessee its second-best score on Wednesday, shooting 3-over. Lewis is tied for 42nd place entering round two, but just two strokes outside of the top 20 in the closely-grouped field.
Â
Jake Hall is one stroke back from Lewis, having carded a 4-over during round one. Hall is tied for 48th place.
Â
Tyler Johnson gave Tennessee its final counting round of the day on Wednesday, shooting 6-over. Johnson is tied for 64th place.
Â
In 67th place after one round, Hunter Wolcott shot 7-over during round one.
