ROME, Ga. - The Millsaps Men's Golf team we're back on the course at the Berry College Chick-fil-A Classic on Tuesday afternoon. After a great first day, the Majors dropped a couple spots as the finished 12th place out of 25 schools.

"We had a great opportunity after our first round to place in the top five here," says Head Coach Eddie Brescher. "Unlike day one, the weather was not a factor today. Scoring conditions were perfect but we did not take advantage of that." 

Leading the Majors was freshmen Ryan Henry. Henry equaled his first days score of 71 on the second day in the tournament, which placed him -2 in 4th place.  

"One word describes Ryan's performance this week, amazing", exclamed Coach Brescher. "We all know Ryan is a phenomenal player and its no surprise to me or his teammates that he played this well in his first collegiate event."

In his debute event, Henry set a school record for the lowest score at a tournament by a freshman.

"He stepped up big time when his team needed him most this week," describes Coach Brescher. "As a team, we know we can lean on him for many more solid performances in the future." 

Junior Drew Richardson was the next Major on the scorecard shooting 80 on his second day. Richardson was nine over par and placed 48th in the tournament.

Following was freshman Carlitos Fernandez shot 78 on his second day, one shot under from his first day, placing him in 70th place with +13. Junior Thomas Baxter scored 82 on the second day, finishing +15 and placing 85th place. Junior Chris Patton wrapped up the show for the Majors with 82 shots for the day.  Patton finished 101st place with +17.

"We still need a lot of work with our short game," said Coach Brescher. "These guys are very talented and we feel that if our shirt games improve as a team, we can hang with any team we face."

The Millsaps Men's Golf team will return to their home course on October 21st in Madison, Miss. for the Millsaps Collegiate Tournament. This will be their first home tournament of the season.
