HARWELL, Ga. – After the first day of the Cateechee Fall Invitational, the Carson-Newman men's golf team sits tied for 5th, following 34 holes on Monday, with the final few holes being pushed to tomorrow due to darkness.
"Our play was up and down today," head coach Randy Wylie said. "Plenty of birdies, but too many doubles and triples… We are hoping and expecting to climb the leaderboard tomorrow."

Elliot MacGregor sits tied for 23rd after day one, shooting a 68 in the first round and a 69 in the second for an even-par performance.
Luke Stock slots in tied for 33rd, improving on his first-round score of 74 with a 64-stroke performance in round two to finish just one stroke over par going into day two.
