The Eagles (289-296-305=890) struggled on day three, but still did enough to finish ahead of Michigan, South Alabama, Mercer, No. 29 Mississippi State and Purdue in an extremely competitive 14-team field.
Senior Graham Hill keyed the Eagles attack, finishing tied for 19th with a three-day total of 220 (69-74-77). Junior Christopher Ross carded a 221 (74-72-75) to place 23rd. Sophomore Brandon Lemons tied for 25th with a 222 (71-75-76). Sophomore Marty Jeppesen and redshirt freshman Brad Larente rounded out the lineup with a 230 (75-75-80) and a 231 (75-79-77), respectively.
Second ranked Georgia (284-291-286=861) made the turn in the final round was able to make up a six-stroke deficit to second-round leader No. 26 Ole Miss (277-292-287=856). For the second straight day, a UGA comeback was all for not as an eagle from Mississippi’s David Marino on the par-4, 13th hole kick-started another stellar back nine for the eventual champions. The Rebels denied the Bulldogs a chance to win the tournament for the third time in as many years.
Robbie Greenwell (68-68-72=208) of Memphis hung onto his 36-hole lead to take home individual medalist honors by three shots over second-place Joel Sjoholm of Georgia State.
