MAJORS COMEBACK TO WIN

FLOWOOD, MS- The Millsaps Majors bested the field by 20 strokes on day two of the Pinnacle Trust Invitational, winning the event by 14 strokes on Tuesday afternoon. 

Ryan Henry won the individual portion of the event as well, backing up his opening round 72 with a two-under 70 to win the event by two strokes. Henry had three birdies and one bogey on Tuesday, taking advantage of prime scoring conditions. 

"The whole tournament was solid for Ryan," coach Brad Johnson said. "He is great at grinding out a round and is a real smart player."

The rest of the Majors followed suit, with nobody on the five-man squad shooting worse than a two-over 74. Ryan Martin tied for the low round of the tournament, shooting a three-under 69 on Tuesday to finish in a tie for second individually at even par. Martin shaved six strokes off her first round with five birdies and two bogeys in Tuesday's round. Cody Davis also finished tied for fourth after a Tuesday 74,finishing at two-over for the event. 

Tyler Kastner and Shane Brennan got hot on Tuesday, shaving eight and seven shots off their opening rounds, respectfully. Kastner shot a 72 to rocket up 18 slots to a tie for ninth. Brennan's 73 was good for a tie for 11th, moving up 16 slots on Tuesday. 

"This really shows our potential," Johnson said. "This shows how good we can be and the guys are starting to believe in themselves, this was huge for us."

Millsaps will look to take this momentum into next week's Oglethorpe Invitational at Royal Lakes Country Club in Flowery Branch, Georgia. Round one is set for Monday.
