Notes
- First entry in the Cullan Brown Invite.
- Last time the Mocs played a tournament in Kentucky? 2012. That was a clean sweep of team & medalist honors at the NCAA Bowling Green Regionals. PGA Tour pro Stephan Jaeger '12 cruised through the field with a 13-under 203 total, a school record at the time, while the team jumped the likes of No. 3 UCLA & N0. 15 Texas A&M.
- 3rd season under Coach Blaine Woodruff, 27th event. Program has six team wins and four medalists over that stretch.
- Carson Johnson is making his first start of the year. The Mocs have won two of his three starts un Woodruff and four of five events he appeared in whether in the lineup or as an individual.
- Braedon Wear has the lone UTC collegiate medalist honor on the current roster. It was a 10-under 203 effort in the 2021 J.T. Poston Invite.
- Camden Braidech led the squad in the opening event. The transfer from Liberty fired a 3-under 68 over the final round to move 35 spots up the leaderboard into the top 20 (T17).
