Golf: UGA / GT 1-2

Well, the Bulldogs and Jackets are in 1st and 2nd place, respectively. The Jackets gained 2 strokes on the Dawgs and are currently in sole possesion of 2nd place, still 9 strokes back. Tennessee fell of the face of the earth today, after being in 2nd place, they are now not even going to make the cut, going +33 on the day. It is obviously a tough day on the course, as the Jackets ended +15 on the day and the Dawgs +17. Of all the teams done for the day, those are the best two scores..... Here the the Jacket individual scores....
