FRANKLIN, Tenn.— Led by Jack Belote’s medalist performance, the University of Memphis golf team captured its first tournament title since 2008 Sunday at the Mason Rudolph Championship.

Belote’s 54-hole total of 205 (66-69-70) is tied for the second lowest in program history (Andy Shields, Missouri Bluffs 2004-05). He is also the first Tiger to earn medalist honors in an event since Brad Benjamin in the 2007 Palisades Collegiate Classic.

The Tigers posted scores 274-284-284—842 to best runner-up South Carolina (285-279-280—844). Ole Miss (282-285-280—847), Oklahoma (274-292-284—848), and Middle Tennessee (292-284-274—850) rounded out the top five.

Belote’s 54-hole total of eight-under-par topped South Carolina’s Blaine Woodruff (69-67-70—206) by one stroke in the individual competition. Will Kropp (65-74-69—208) from Oklahoma finished in third position.

Jonathan Fly finished in a tie for fourth position with scores of 69-72-68—209. His 54-hole total of 209 ties his previous career-low set at the 2009 Sam Hall Intercollegiate and is tied for the 12th lowest in program history.

Steve Lee (71-70-73—214) and Carlson Cox (68-73-73—214) finished in a tie for 17th position. Grant Milner finished in a tie for 41st position after turning in three consecutive rounds of 73.

Memphis will return to action Oct. 4-5 when it travels to Raleigh, N.C. for the Wolfpack Intercollegiate hosted by North Carolina State.
