Reifers Finishes Fifth At All-America Classic

Nov. 22, 2005

EL PASO, TX - Wake Forest senior Kyle Reifers went into this week's Western Refining College All-America Classic feeling he was one of the top players in college golf. Now, he knows for sure.

Reifers finished tied for fifth among the top 30 individual college golfers in the United States after shooting a 67-69-70--206 (-7) at the par 71 El Paso Country Club.

Reifers finished six strokes off the pace set by Vanderbilt's Luke List, who finished at 13-under for the 54-hole event played Monday and Tuesday. Georgia's Chris Kirk finished one stroke back in second place, followed by Oklahoma State's Pablo Martin and East Tennessee State's Rhys Davies. Reifers' final round 70 came after making four birdies and three bogeys.

List became the eighth wire-to-wire winner and the first since Arizona's Chris Nallen (2003). Vanderbilt becomes the 20th school in the 31 years of the event to have a player win the tournament title. List is just the second SEC player to win the event, joining inaugural champion Jerry Pate of Alabama, who won the event in 1974.

Each university is awarded a $1,000 scholarship if a golfer from that school competes in the tournament.
