ATLANTA –
Cameron Tringale fired a four-under-par 67, while Taylor Hall and Kevin Larsen each carded two-under 69s on Tuesday, leading No. 2-ranked Georgia Tech to a six-shot win over top-ranked Georgia in the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate golf tournament in Birmingham, Ala.
Tech, which led wire-to-wire, shot an eight-under-par 276 Tuesday for a 54-hole total of 828 (24-under-par) to keep the defending national champion Bulldogs (273 – 834) at bay, also counting an even-par 71 from All-American Roberto Castro on the Old Overton Golf Club.
UAB finished in third place at 10-under 842, followed by host Alabama, Brigham Young and Tulsa.
Tringale and Hall, freshmen playing the fourth and fifth positions in the Tech lineup, led the charge for the Yellow Jackets in the final two rounds. They wound up tied for fourth place in the medal race at six-under-par 213, 10 shots off the pace of Garrett Osborn (69-197) of Alabama-Birmingham. Georgia’s Chris Kirk and Brigham Young’s Jake Ellison tied for second place at 206.
Tringale, from Laguna Niguel, Calif., finished 67-67, while Hall, from LaGrange, Ga., finished 67-69. Tringale boosted his final round Tuesday with a pair of eagles, and Hall birdied three straight holes at the turn and played even par from there.
“Confidence is such an important thing (for the freshmen),” said Tech head coach Bruce Heppler. “You try and tell them that they belong, but this does a lot for them. It does even more for the team. When you put a group together and they win a tournament, it gives them a lot of faith. It’s a big deal to have five guys in the game, and a big step for those two guys.”
Larsen, a junior from Santa Barbara, Calif., had to sub-70 rounds out of three to tie for seventh place at five-under-par 210. Castro, a junior from Alpharetta, Ga., just missed recording his 14th career-top 10 finish, tying for 11th place at three-under 210.
Tech next plays in the Isleworth-UCF Collegiate Invitational on Oct. 23-25 in Windermere, Fla.
