TRINGALE TIES FOR 41ST IN LIV EVENT

Georgia Tech’s Cameron Tringale tied for 41st at last weekend’s LIV Golf Series event in Jeddah, Egypt, posting a 2-over-par score of 212 and earning $131,000.

Brooks Koepka won the event in a playoff over Peter Uihlein after both players tied at 12-under-par.

Tringale has earned just over $778,000 in three LIV Golf events after accumulating a little over $3 million on the PGA Tour in 2022-23. The series finishes the season in Miami the weekend of Oct. 28-30.
