Big bounce back day to move back up the leaderboard for the Swingin’ Dores. Vandy got the momentum going early, shooting -4 collectively through four holes, including a birdie-birdie start for Will Hartman. All four scoring golfers made the turn under par and six under as a team. After a tumultuous start to the back nine, which saw five bogeys and only one birdie in the first three holes, the Dores got things turned around quickly. Eight birdies, including at least two from each golfer, were carded over the next three holes, really springing Vandy up the leaderboard.

Big Final Round Incoming

Even after a very important -9 today to shoot up the leaderboard, the Commodores still are one back from moving on in this tournament. South Carolina sits one shot ahead after a very solid two days of -8 and -4. We will have to see another solid performance from all four scoring golfers for the dreams of an SEC title to continue.
