KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Carson-Newman senior Andrew Hall (Knoxville, Tenn.) finished fifth at the 100^th Annual Tennessee State Amateur Championship with a five-under 275 at Holston Hill Country Club in Knoxville.

Four competitors in the State Am had Carson-Newman ties as Hall was joined by fellow teammate Jace Devault (Bluff City, Tenn.), incoming freshman Jake Headrick (Maryville, Tenn.) and Eagle alum Tanner Davis.

Hall, a member of the South Atlantic Conference's second-team last season, carded a final round 71 Friday afternoon to follow up three consecutive rounds in the 60s. Thursday's third round score of 67 was Hall's lowest round of the Championship.

Headrick shot the low score of the final round with a 65 on Friday. The Maryville High School graduate's final tournament before competing for Carson-Newman was completed with a final score of one-over 281 and in a tie for 18^th.
