And it seemed like that happened two or three times each round. “But the bottom line is we were ranked 23rd, 24th or 25th coming into this tournament and we’re going to end up around the same thing.

Then I got that birdie this morning that kind of kick-started my day and I played really well today. I was 3 under with three to play and I unfortunately bogeyed No. 7. That is such a hard hole. “But I’m happy and it was fun. I have some good memories and it was a great way to go out. I didn’t play as well as I wanted to this year but I didn’t ever play bad. I know my game’s there. I can say I’m better than I’ve ever been. Every year it’s gotten better; every day it’s gotten better. I’m pretty happy.” Robin Wingardh shot 73 for UT on Thursday to finish at 3-over-par 219 and tied for 59th.

Twice is Nice It’s been more than 20 years, and Eric Rebmann remains the only Vol to earn Academic All-America honors twice, doing so in 1986 and 1987. Rebmann, who majored in finance, lettered for the Vols from 1984-87 and was Academic All-Southeastern Conference three times. He was no slouch with the golf clubs either. As a sophomore in 1985, he fired a 205 to win the Chris Schenkel Invitational in Statesboro, Ga. He also earned second-team All-SEC honors that season. After his senior year, he finished runner-up at the U.S. Amateur.
