TUNICA - After battling through 40 mph winds on Day 1 and rain on Day 2, the Millsaps men's golf team shot a two-day team score of 654, good enough for a seventh place finish at the Rhodes College Classic Fall Preview in Tunica this past weekend.

The Majors were led by senior Chad Tobler, who fired rounds of 80 and 77 to finish in a tie for 14th place overall, 11 behind the leader. Tobler also led the entire field with eight birdies in two days, two better than the second place finisher Taylor Urbanski of Oglethorpe who finished with six.

As a team, the Majors were third in the field with 19 birdies overall - five behind tournament leader Oglethorpe who drained 24 - and fifth in the field on Par 5 scoring at 12-over par.

"Our scores haven't reflected the hard work and mandatory workouts and practices our team has gone through," second year head coach Scott Essex said. "Hopefully we'll pull everything together this weekend."

Other Millsaps notables were Michael Ameen (24th), Drew McDowell (42nd), Jack Rader (43rd) and Freddie Bracken (59th).

The Majors will compete in their third tournament in as many weeks this weekend, traveling to Alexandria, La., to play in the Louisiana College Invitational on Sept. 25-26 at Oak Wing Golf Course.
