SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – The University of Tennessee at Martin golf program is responsible for the team and individual leader after a phenomenal 36-hole start at the Twin Oaks Intercollegiate hosted by Missouri State.
Skyhawk junior Drew Williams leads the 53-man field with a score of 132 (-10), holding a one-stroke advantage over Kansas City's Niels Knudsen. A Greensboro, Ga. native, Williams leads the tournament in par-5 scoring (4.13, -7) and ranks second in par-4 scoring (3.78, -4).
Williams is one of three UT Martin representatives in the top-10 and four Skyhawks in the top-20 through two rounds. Grant Phillips was the tournament's Round 1 leader and now ranks third with a 134 (-8), topping the field with 13 birdies while ranking seventh in par-3 scoring (3.00, E). Lucas Herring's 139 (-3) ranks ninth in the event while Bryce Harmon (140, -2) is in 17th place on the player standings.
As a team, the Skyhawks rank atop the team leaderboard with a 545 (-23). UT Martin carded a 273 (-11) in Round 1 while maintaining its lead with a 272 (-12) this afternoon. The Skyhawks lead the tournament in birdies (47) and par-5 scoring (4.47, -21) to lead second-place Kansas City (547, -21) by two strokes entering tomorrow's final round.
Phillips tied a career-best score with a 66 (-5) in Round 1, turning in seven birdies. Williams wasn't too far behind with a 67 (-4) that included four birdies and one of just seven eagles in the whole tournament. Harmon's 69 (-2) featured six birdies while Herring's even-par 71 included three birdies.
In Round 2, Williams equaled his career-best score with a 65 (-6) that was boosted by eight birdies. Phillips (six birdies) and Herring (four birdies to tie a career-high score) both managed 68's while Harmon (four birdies) and Regan Kueker (three birdies) each shot even-par 71's to complete the team scoring. The latter score shaved four shots off Kueker's opening-round tally, giving the freshman a 146 (+4) overall score.
A trio of UT Martin representatives are also taking part in this tournament as individuals. Luke Beadles shot a 147 (+5) today after a 73 (two birdies) in Round 1 and a 74 (two birdies) in Round 2. Layton Richey tallied a 77 with two birdies this morning and followed that with a 72 (three birdies) during the afternoon session for a cumulative 149 (+7). Making his season debut after an injury suffered earlier this fall, John-Gregory Wilson opened his tournament with a 79 in the first round and bounced back with a 72 (one birdie, 16 pars) in Round 2. Wilson ranks second in the event in pars (27) and is tied with Phillips for seventh with a team-best 3.00 par-3 scoring average.
All eight Skyhawks will begin on Hole No. 1 tomorrow as part of a split-tee format. Wilson gets UT Martin started at 8:09 a.m. and will be followed by Richey (8:18), Beadles (8:27), Kueker (8:45), Harmon (8:54), Herring (9:03), Phillips (9:12) and Williams (9:21). The Skyhawk individuals are paired with Arkansas-Pine Bluff as well as individuals from Missouri State and SIUE while the five members of the UT Martin scoring lineup will compete alongside Kansas City and Bradley (555, -13).
