Senior Rafe Reynolds returned to the lineup this week and put together a nice tournament with a T-4^th finish at 5-under. The Greenville, S.C., native shot 72 (E) in the final today with a pair of birdies. Junior Nathan Franks and sophomore Zach Adams were the final counting scores with 2-over 74s today. Junior transfer Laurens Schulze-Doering, who entered the day T-78^th at 11-over, was DQ’d for signing an incorrect scorecard today.

Freshman Bo Carpenter played as an individual this week. He shot 77 (+5) and finished T-65^th at 12-over for the tournament.
