SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – The University of Tennessee Southern men's golf claimed a third-place finish in the Whistling Straits Championship on Tuesday. UTS ended day one in third place just 16 strokes behind Cumberlands. Harsh weather conditions plagued the squads and made the course treacherous.

Jacob Wilson led the Firehawk effort firing an opening round of 83. UTS began day two in the third position, but play would be suspended and the final round would be canceled.
