The No. 10 University of Tennessee men's golf team finished tied for third Tuesday at 20-over-par 886 at the John Hayt Collegiate Invitational in Ponte Vedra Beach. Fla.
The Vols shot 7-over 295 at Sawgrass Country Club in the final round. No. 2 Alabama defeated No. 3 UCLA by four shots.
UT's Charlie Ford (70) tied for 13th at 219; Philip Pettitt (74) was 15th at 220; David Holmes (76) tied for 21st at 222; and Chris Paisley (75) and Robin Wingardh (80) tied for 62nd at 231.
"We had a mediocre week overall as a team but there are some bright spots," Tennessee coach Jim Kelson said. "We were competitive even though we didn't necessarily have our best games. We proved we can win these golf tournaments if we are on our game."
