JONESBORO, Ark. – The University of Tennessee at Martin golf team produced its best round of the Bubba Barnett Intercollegiate today, shooting a 290 (+2) to finish sixth in the tournament hosted by Arkansas State.

The Skyhawks' third round score was nine shots better than their Round 2 tally and 11 shots better than its opening round score. UT Martin finished with a score of 890 (+26) to place sixth in the 11-team field.

"We played pretty well today," Skyhawk head coach Jerry Carpenter said. "Yesterday, it was cold and the wind chill was 27 for the first three hours of the day. We had a lot of double bogeys yesterday and we couldn't overcome those. Today, we made some putts, hit a lot more greens and had several birdies to cover up our bogeys. It was a good finish heading into the last tournament of the regular season."

After charging up the individual standings with a tournament-best 67 in the second round, Ross Redmont shot a 71 (-1) today, including four birdies. His overall tournament score of 215 (-1) finished in a six-way tie for fourth place out of 67 golfers in the field.

Jack Story generated his best tournament finish of the season, as his 217 (+1) placed him in a tie for 11^th place. He carded one birdie and 14 pars during today's third round on his way to a 75 (+3). Playing as an individual, he led the tournament with 41 pars.

UT Martin's best score on the day came via Nick Wolf, who was responsible for five birdies as part of a 69 (-3). Mason Chandler and Cameron Smith each dialed up three birdies apiece while finishing with identical 75's (+3) to complete the Skyhawk team scoring. Tate Chumley also knocked in a pair of birdies while shooting a 78 (+6) in the third round.

For the tournament, Chandler was the second-best finisher in UT Martin's scoring lineup with a 226 (+10). Wolf followed closely behind with a 227 (+11) while Chumley (229, +13) and Smith (230, +14) rounded out the UT Martin participants.

The Skyhawks' final regular season tournament occurs on April 8-9 at the TSU Big Blue Intercollegiate. The tournament will once again take place at Hermitage Golf Course in Old Hickory, Tenn. and is hosted by Tennessee State.
