NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Led by another strong individual effort from junior Stanton Schorr, Mercer tied for fifth place with a four-over-par 288 in the third and final round of the Ryman Hospitality Intercollegiate at Richland Country Club on Tuesday.

Schorr, who entered the final round tied for sixth individually, shot a two-under-par 69 to jump into sole possession of fourth. Three other Bears – Lino Galdin, Hayes Rule and Kiko Rosete – cracked the top 30 to power Mercer to a strong finish.

Coach Kayden's Take
"We put together our best round of the tournament as four guys hit below 75 for the first time this season," said head coach Kirk Kayden. "Stanton [Schorr] had another impressive finish and has his momentum rolling in the right direction heading into the Southern Conference Championships…he's definitely capable of winning that tournament.

"Overall, it was a good team result today despite not moving much in the field. We're taking the right strides to prepare ourselves for the conference tournament in Pinehurst."
