Wolcott
VESTAVIA HILLS, Ala. – Sophomore Ben Wolcott fired a final round even par 70 to finish in a tie for 11th at the Jerry Pate Intercollegiate on Tuesday, notching his third top 20 of the young season.
Wolcott had a three-day total of 211 to just miss the top 10. His 67 in the second round set up the notable finish. Wolcott’s four birdies on the back nine allowed him to recover and finish even on the round.
“It was a very disappointing day,” head coach Chris Malloy said. “Fortunately, we have some time before our next event to get back and work on our weaknesses. I know that we are a much better team than we showed this week. These guys are ready to put in the hard work that it takes to get better. I am looking forward to these next couple of weeks. Ben has shown that he is really starting to develop into a great player. He has been very consistent this fall.”
The Rebels finished in a tie for 10th with Georgia State and UT-San Antonio after a team total of 293 in the final round gave them a three-round total of 873. Tournament host Alabama won the event with a 10-under 830.
Noah West finished in a tie for 38th following a final round 75, while Blake Morris and Joe Lewis finished in a tie for 50th and a tie for 53rd, respectively. Lewis had three birdies on the back nine for a final round 70.
