Junior Jake Hall was the star of the show this week for the Vols. After finishing 12-under and tying for second in the stroke play portion, the Halls native won his match 3&2.
Also with an impressive week, redshirt freshman Lance Simpson birdied his last three holes to win his match 2 up. Simpson also finished in the top 10 in just his second collegiate start.
The clinching point came from veteran Bryce Lewis, who led 5 up after 12 holes but got pushed all the way to 18. Lewis birdied the final hole to lock in the win.
Tennessee’s next tournament will be at Purdue in 13 days.
