JOHNSON CITY, Tenn.-- Freshman Brent Wanner (Orleans, MA) finished fifth in his first collegiate appearance as the Wake Forest men's golf team finished 13th out of 15 teams at The Ridges Intercollegiate golf tournament. The tournament, which featured seven teams ranked in the Mastercard Preseason Top 25, was played on the 7,055-yard, par-72 course at The Ridges Golf and Country Club.
