Davis Lee Turns In Second Top-10 Finish of Career

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - No. 36-ranked North Florida men's golf tied for the third-best final round to jump five spots from Sunday's finish to grab a share of sixth place at the General Hackler Championship.

The Ospreys finished out the back half of the second round after play was halted due to weather delays and came out strong in the final round with four scores recording at par or better. They finished over several ranked teams in the tournament, such as No. 46 Kent State, No. 39 Liberty and No. 33 Louisville.

Davis Lee impressed with his 5-under 211 weekend that included two rounds in the 60s to place within the top 10 for the second time in his career. He was one stroke shy of his career-best 18 round score of 6-under 66 in the final round on Monday.
