AIKEN, S.C.---Senior Wes Gosselin led the Chattanooga Mocs tying for 16th at the Cleveland Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate. His four-over par 214 pace the 10th-place Mocs who shot 875 for the 54 holes at Palmetto Golf Club.

Gosselin and Brooks Thomas each turned in 75s. Lake Johnson and Phillip Hickam rounded out the team score of 305 with 77 and 78, respectively.
 
Gosselin's tie for 16th was followed by Johnson tying for 36th at 220. Stuart Thomas was next with 222, three clear of Hickam and B. Thomas at 225.
 
No. 16 Clemson (835) came back from a three-shot deficit to top No. 3 Virginia (836). South Carolina (845) was third. The Cavaliers' Derek Bard claimed medalist honors shooting 6-under 204.
 
Quotable
"[The course] played really tough today. We didn't get off to a good start when the weather was decent. Once it got bad, we didn't have a chance to get back on track. We should've played better than we did. All-in-all though, it was a good week to build on."  – Coach Mark Guhne.
