Tennessee Golf earns spot in Championship final of fall SEC match play against Vanderbilt
On a back and forth afternoon at Old Overton in Vestavia Hills, Alabama, Tennessee’s golf team outlasted Auburn to qualify for the championship match against Vanderbilt.
Led by Jake Hall, who finished a shot out of a playoff for the individual championship at 12 under, the golf Vols had the round of the day from any team shooting 12 under and finishing 2nd to only the Commodores in the stroke play portion.
That portion wins you nothing from a team perspective. The top two teams play a best of five match play round tomorrow.
