11/6/2025 9:16:00 PM | Golf
'AIEA, O'AHU, Hawai'i – The University of Tennessee at Martin squad wrapped up its fall semester today with 18-plus holes of golf at the Pearl at Kalauou Invitational, hosted by the University of Hawaii at Pearl Country Club.
After nearly 80 percent of the tournament field did not finish yesterday's Round 2 prior to darkness causing a suspension, the Skyhawks shot their best round of the tournament with a 291 (+3). UT Martin followed that with a 297 (+9) in Round 3, producing a 54-hole score of 886 (+22) to rank 13th in the loaded field. No. 31 West Virginia finished in first place out of 18 teams with a final tally of 843 (-21).
"This was an unforgettable experience this week in Hawai'i for our program," Skyhawk head coach Austin Swafford said. "We got to play and compete against some of the top teams in the country on a challenging golf course while also getting to experience a state that none of our guys had traveled to before. I'm proud of our efforts this week – the guys were focused and bought into our gameplan. Now it's time to rest and get ready for our offseason."
Drew Williams (four birdies) and Grant Phillips (one eagle, one birdie) each carded even-par 72's to guide UT Martin in Round 2. Luke Caldwell (73, three birdies) and Luke Beadles (74, four birdies) were the final two scorers in the Skyhawk lineup while John-Gregory Wilson (79, three birdies) and Jaden Morrell (80, one birdie as an individual) also concluded the second round early this morning.
Williams once again paced UT Martin in Round 3 with a 73 that included three birdies on the scorecard. Phillips (two birdies) and Beadles (four birdies) both jotted down 74's while Caldwell's 76 (one birdie) was the final countable score in the Skyhawk lineup. Wilson (78 with four birdies) and Morrell (85, two birdies) completed UT Martin's participation in the tournament.
For the second straight tournament, Williams led the Skyhawks in scoring as the sophomore placed 26th in the 108-man field with a 218 (+2). The Greensboro, Ga. native led UT Martin in par-3 scoring (3.08, +1), par-4 scoring (4.07, +2) and pars (32) over the course of the two-day event.
Caldwell followed with a 220 (+4) while Phillips equaled Williams for the team lead with 32 pars on the way to a 223 (+7). Beadles shot a 225 (+9) while topping the Skyhawks in par-5 scoring (4.50, -6) and birdies (12). Wilson tallied a 237 (+21) while Morrell managed a 245 (+29).
UT Martin will step away from official competition for nearly three months before opening its spring schedule at the Thomas Sharkey Individual Collegiate on Jan. 31-Feb. 1 in Statesboro, Ga.
