Jacob Cook Earns Team-Leading Fifth Top-10 Finish in Finale

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Jacob Cook and Garrett Wood both notched individual top-10 finishes, and the Kentucky men's golf team registered the eighth-lowest tournament score in the Brian Craig era to highlight a fifth-place finish at the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial on Tuesday.
 
Cook logged his team-leading fifth top-10 finish with rounds of 70-70-70 for a 3-under scorecard and a tie for ninth. Wood matched Cook's finish behind scores of 72-67-71 to mark his third top-10 finish of the season.
 
The Wildcats tied for the lowest round of any team during the second round and came in under par during Tuesday's third round, but the Wildcats could not catch the leaders. The host Virginia Cavaliers edged Tennessee by one stroke for the team victory at 15-under par. North Florida finished in third at 11-under and Charlotte was two shots better than UK for fourth place.
 
UK's 844 score was the second lowest of the season and tied for the eighth-best score in the Craig era. It marked the fourth top-five finish of the season for the Cats who will now head to the Southeastern Conference Championship April 20-24 at Seaside Golf Club in St. Simons Island, Georgia.
