Vandy Men’s Golf excels, Match Play up next, Vandy Boys at Ky starting today
Our Men’s Golf team just keeps answering the bell every time out. They’re just a terrifically consistent team. We won the stroke play competition of the SEC Championship at Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island, GA. today by shooting 3 under as a team and finshing 16 under to defeat Texas A&M by 3 shots. A&M finished at -13. Florida was next at -12, LSU was -9, Missouri was -1, Georgia was Even, Tennessee was +3 and Mississippi State finished =4.
We now move on to the 8 team match play event tomorrow with our first match against the 8th seed Bulldogs of Mississippi State. We tee off at 6:30 AM CT with Cole Sherwood facing Ford Clegg of State. At 6:40 AM CT, Reid Davenport faces Ruan Pretorius. At 6:50 AM CT, William Moll faces Benjamin Nelson. At 7 AM CT, Harrison Ott faces Harrison Davis. And at 7:10 AM CT Gordon Sargent squares off with Hunter Logan.
Gordon finished in second place in the individual competition at -5. John Dubois of Florida finished first at -6. Cole finished tied for 3rd at -4, Reid finished tied 11th at -2, and Williams Moll finished tied for 18th at Even Par.
The winners of the Elite Eight will square off in the Final Four. The quartefinals and semifinals will be televised by SEC Network+ starting at 3 PM CT and Sunday’s Championship match will begin at 6:30 AM CT and be televised by the SEC Network. But we’ve got to take care of business against State before we think about anything else. Will have a full report on the guys tomorrow. Playing so well. Know Coach Limbaugh is pumped, but knowing him, he’s now locked in on tomorrow. But that’s another superb accomplishment by this spectacular group of young men and players. So proud of them. Excited for what we can do this weekend, too. Will have a report tomorrow. Anchor Down.
