KENNESAW, Ga. – All six University of Tennessee at Martin representatives in The Scrappy At Pinetree tournament finished within two shots of each other as the Skyhawks finished second in the field with an 871 (+7).
UT Martin managed a 292 (+4) in Round 3 today and trailed only tournament host Kennesaw State (863, -1) in the final standings. It marked the fourth top-five finish in as many tries to start the 2026-27 campaign for the Skyhawks, who led the tournament in pars (111) while ranking second in both par-4 scoring average (4.19, +29) and par-5 scoring average (4.68, -19).
Each of the six UT Martin participants finished in the top-30, led by Lucas Herring and Grant Phillips' 15th-place effort at 219 (+3). Bryce Harmon and Regan Kueker followed with 21st-place finishes at 220 (+4) while Drew Williams and Layton Richey both shot 221's (+5) to finish 27th.
"It was a full team effort leading to a runner-up finish this week," Skyhawk head coach Austin Swafford said. "We knew from previous experience what this golf course demands – each hole can bite you if you end up in the wrong spot. All week we talked about playing with patience and discipline and the guys did exactly that. I was very proud of what I saw out there from each of them."
Kueker led the Round 3 performances for UT Martin as the freshman out of Wamego, Kan. carded a 70 (-2) with five birdies. Williams' even-par 72 included one birdie and 16 pars while Phillips (74, two birdies), Herring (76, three birdies) and Harmon (76, one birdie) completed the Skyhawk scoring lineup. Competing as an individual, Richey shot a 75 with a pair of birdies.
Overall, Williams led the entire field in pars (38) while Herring ranked first in the tournament in par-5 scoring average (4.25, -9) to go along with a team-high 11 birdies (12th in the field). Richey's 4.03 (+1) par-4 scoring average was the fourth-best mark in the event while Phillips and Harmon tied for eighth place in the tournament with a 3.00 (E) par-3 scoring average.
The Skyhawks round out their fall schedule next week when they head to the Twin Oaks Intercollegiate in Springfield, Mo. on Monday, Oct. 19 through Tuesday, Oct. 20.
