MEMPHIS, TN- Ryan Martin fired a final round 33 to win the rain-shorten Rhodes Collegiate with a total score of 105, three under par. Martin was later named the Confererence Co-Golfer of the Week for the victory.
Martin shot the low round of the day, carding birdies on holes two, four, six and eight before a bogey on the ninth sent him into the clubhouse with a three-under 33. He erased a three-shot deficit from Monday's even-par round and finished in a tie with Chris Harris from Rhodes College. Martin jumped six spots from Monday to Tuesday. He also came in ranked 93rd in Division-III as an individual, a ranking that is sure to sky rocket after this win where he bested eight higher-ranked golfers.
Martin's round headlined a banner day for the Majors, who as a team posted the lowest team round of the day at 145. The Majors vaulted three spots into a tie for fourth overall at the tournament.
Ryan Henry also went low on Tuesday, breaking par with a one-under 35. Henry finished in a tie for ninth at +1 over the 27 holes. He carded birdies at the fifth and eighth before also posting a bogey six at the tough par-5 ninth hole.
Cody Davis posted a 38 on Tuesday for his round, finishing in a tie for 28th while Tyler Kastner shot a 39 and Shane Brennan a 42 as all five Majors posted strong rounds on Tuesday.
Millsaps will look to use the momentum from another strong tournament into the SAA Championships. The three-day tournament begins April 24th at Old Fort Golf Club in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
