Taylor Men Take Sixth in Stacked Field at Memphis Shootout

MEMPHIS – The Taylor men's golf team played 54 holes of competition at the Memphis Shootout on Monday and Tuesday at TPC Southwind and came home with a sixth-place finish in the 15-team event. The field featured nine teams ranked or receiving votes in the NAIA Top-25 Poll.

TU started hot, shooting a 301 in the opening round to finish just two strokes off the lead heading into the middle 18 holes. The Trojans could not keep pace over the final two rounds however, shooting a 308 and 305 to slide to sixth.
