JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. - Wake Forest claimed its second consecutive tournament championship as rain wiped out the final round of the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate golf tournament at the Blackthorn Club at The Ridges on Sunday. The Demon Deacons, leading the tournament by five strokes at the conclusion of the second round, were crowned champions.
Freshman Will Zalatoris took medalist honors with a 10-under 134.
Play started for the final round on Sunday morning but persistent showers, which plagued the event throughout the weekend, forced the cancellation.
Wake Forest finished the tournament at 18-under 558 with host East Tennessee State second at 13-under 563. Penn State finished third at 7-under 569.
For Wake Forest, it marks the first time it has won back-to-back tournaments since the fall of 2002. That year, the Deacons won the International Collegiate at St. Andrews, Scotland and followed that with a win at the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate. The Deacons won the Primland Collegiate last weekend.
Zalatoris is the first Deacon to win medalist honors at the BOT since Bill Haas in 2002 and the first freshman to win a tournament since Clancy Waugh last season at the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate.
Danny Guise tied for fourth with a 5-under 139. Paul McBride was 12th at 2-under 142 and Davis Womble tied for 20th at 1-under 143. Tanner Owen was tied for 48th at 4-over 148.
Individually, Andrew Winters tied for 35th at 2-over 146, Cyrus Stewart was tied for 63rd at 6-over 150 and Woody Woodward finished tied for 76th at 11-over 155.
The men will return to action at the US Collegiate Championship in Alpharetta, Ga. on Friday, Oct. 17.
