LAS VEGAS --- The No. 1-ranked Georgia men’s golf team finished third on Sunday in the Southern Highlands Collegiate.

Eleventh after the first round and seventh after the second round, the Bulldogs fired a 5-under-par 283 on Sunday to wind up at 6-over 870. Team honors went to host UNLV at 9-under 855.

“Our goal every week is to win, so we are disappointed that we didn’t accomplish that,” Georgia coach Chris Haack said. “At the same time, I am proud of the way our guys hung in there and fought back. It would have been easy to pack it in after the first round, but they didn’t do that. We can build on that was we go forward.”

Senior Brian Harman led the Bulldogs’ final-round charge with a 3-under 69. Junior Hudson Swafford added a 2-under 70, while sophomore Harris English had a 1-under 71 and senior Adam Mitchell shot a 1-over 73. Sophomore Russell Henley had the non-counting score of 3-over 75.

Harman came in eighth in the individual race at 1-under 215, 10 shots behind medalist Cameron Tringale of Georgia Tech. Mitchell tied for 17th at 4-over 220, followed by Henley in a tie for 24th at 6-over 225, English in a tie for 39th at 9-over 225 and Swafford in a tie for 54th at 12-over 228. Freshman Will Kropp, playing as an individual, shot a 4-over 76 on Sunday to finish tied for 48th at 11-over 227.

The Bulldogs will return to action Friday through Sunday at the Linger Longer Invitational in Greensboro.
