The Murray State men’s golf team lost a final-round lead, but Hopkinsville High School grad Austin Knight was able to win his second medalist title at the TSU Big Blue Intercollegiate at Hermitage Golf Club in Nashville, Tennessee.
Heading into Tuesday’s final round with a six-shot lead on second-place UT Martin, the Racers posted a final round 290 and the Skyhawks were able to eek out a one-shot win by carding a score of 283. Still, the Racers recorded their best 54-hole event this spring (288-279-290=857) and head into the Ohio Valley Conference Championship (April 25-27) with a nice momentum boost. Missouri State (860), Belmont (866), Austin Peay (868), and Tennessee Tech (873) made up the top-6 in the field of 11 squads.
After winning the TSU title at The Hermitage in 2018 with a score of 212, Austin Knight got it done one more time in two shots better. Knight posted rounds of 70-69-71=210, for a one-shot win over Belmont’s Evan Davis (72-70-69=211) and Detroit Mercy’s Scott Sparks (70-67-74=211).
