DICKSON, Tenn. — The autumn rain kept the Freed-Hardeman University Lion golfers from playing a complete round on Monday and only allowed for two rounds to be completed on Tuesday. In 36 holes the Lions shot 584 (+8) to earn a share of 13th place at the Music City Collegiate.
Drew Massengale had a fantastic round to open the tournament by carding four birdies and finishing over par on just one hole.

His 72 (E) in the second round added to a 141 (-3) tournament to land in a tie for 13th place.
