"First of, congrats to Coach Brown and Tennessee Tech for a great final round to get themselves into a playoff and eventually win over James Madison. It was an exciting team playoff; which you don't get to see many times in college golf. Disappointing day for the group as we weren't able to play a solid round and get ourselves in contention. Still a lot of positives to take away from this week and we are excited for our next event this weekend. Super proud of Jake Kephart who finished T8. He really played well all week." head coach Chad Wilson said.

Tennessee Tech won both the team and individual titles this week. Their own Jackson Skeen won the tournament at 6-under par while the team beat James Madison in a playoff to win at 3-over par.
