BUCHANAN, Tenn. – Another Skyhawk Fall Classic is in the books as the University of Tennessee at Martin golf team shot the second-best score in the field during today's third round at Paris Landing State Park.

The Skyhawks finished the tournament with an 882 (+18) to finish in third place behind Tennessee State (863, -1) and Murray State (864, E). Murray State's Austin Knight claimed medalist honors with a 205 (-11) and was joined on the all-tournament team by Will Schroeder from John A.

Sophomore Tate Chumley recorded his third consecutive top-four tournament finish, as he finished with a total score of 216 (E). Shelden Barina posted the best finish of his young collegiate career as he placed 10^th with a 218 (+2). Nick Wolf (220, +4), Peyton Dix (222, +6) and Mason Chandler (223, +7) each placed in the top-20 in the final individual standings while Cameron Smith (226, +10) and Jack Story (228, +12) also represented UT Martin.

Overall, Dix led the 43-man tournament field in par-3 scoring with a 2.92 (-1) average while Chumley and Barina tied for second in the field in par-5 scoring (4.50, -6). Barina's 10 total birdies ranked as a team-high while Wolf ranked second in the tournament with 38 birdies.
