Rick Nyman,

(gomocs.com) The Invitational at the Honors Course is complete. The home team Chattanooga Mocs earned a top 10 finish in a field full of NCAA Tournament hopefuls as well as national title contenders, plural. It was a field worthy of amateur golf’s course, the splendid Honors Course in suburban Ooltewah, Tenn. Ole Miss claimed the team title by five strokes over Virginia with the Rebels’ Cameron Tankersley and Auburn’s Josiah Gilbert sharing medalist honors at 6 under.
