FLOWERY BRANCH, GA- The Millsaps Majors men's golf team shaved six strokes off their opening round total and moved up to finish in eighth place at the Oglethorpe Fall Classic. 

The Majors were one of only a handful of teams to improve their score from round one to round two. The Majors shot a team score of 300 to move up three spots to their eighth place finish. 

Leading the way was Cody Davis, who backed up his opening round 72 with a 73 to finish sixth overall in the individual portion. One of the big movers on Tuesday was Ryan Henry who improved six strokes to shoot a second day 73 and finish tied for 27th overall. Ryan Martin also improved six shots, shooting 74 on Tuesday to earn a tie for 38th. Also scoring for the Majors were Lewis Peters, 75-82, T-60 and Chris Patton 84-80, T-86. 

The Majors move put them eighth overall and fourth among conference opponents. The move will hopefully be a momentum boost as the Majors head into one of the bigger tournaments of the fall. Millsaps earned a birth in the Golf Week Fall Invitational in Sandestin, Florida next week. The opening round of the three round tourney begins on Sunday.
