TOCCOA, Ga. -- The men's golf team had their best performance of the fall season on Tuesday at the Currahee Invitational, earning a 6th-place finish. Junior Sam McMillan (Mount Pleasant, S.C.) earned his second top-ten finish of the season to lead the Trojans, finishing 9th individually after shooting -2.

"Solid tournament for the guys!" said Head Men's Golf Coach Daniel Coker. "Proud of Sam and his Top1-0 finish. The guys really stuck to the game plan and stayed patient all week.
