WILMINGTON, N.C. – Led by an even par round by Gabriel Hull, the Kentucky men’s golf team is tied for 11th place after the opening 18 holes of play at the Williams Cup, hosted by the University of North Carolina at Eagle Point Golf Club (par 72, 7353 yards).

The Wildcats posted a 12-over par team score on Sunday, while Hull’s total of 72 puts the sophomore transfer in a tie for ninth individually. The talented field at this year’s Williams Cup includes 14 teams and 81 total golfers. Seven of the 14 teams are ranked inside the top 25 in the Scoreboard Powered by Clippd rankings.

Following Hull for the Cats was junior Gavin Clutts, who posted a 2-over card of 74, good for T26. Jacob Lang signed for a 75 (+3) and is T39, while both Cole Stockard and Cameron Phillips opened the tournament with rounds of 79 (+7), leaving the pair of sophomores in a tie for 75th.
