Final Results

Vanderbilt freshman Hunter Stewart had the best finish of his young college career on Tuesday at the Hummingbird Intercollegiate in Cashiers, N.C., when he ended the tournament in a tie for fourth with a total of 139 (68-71). As a team, the Commodores finished in fourth place with a 36-hole total of 574 (291-283).

Stewart fired an even-par 71 in his final round, and sophomore Charlie Ewing fired the best round and finish of his collegiate career with a two-under 69 at the Country Club of Sapphire Valley on Tuesday. Ewing finished the tournament in a tie for seventh.

"Hunter Stewart played well the last couple of days, and tt was a breakthrough for Charlie," said Vanderbilt head coach Tom Shaw.  "They both made up for a bad round that we had yesterday.  We were just better doing everything today.  We finished poorly on Monday, but today we were motivated for a good finish. 

"The greens were fast, and we had a little bit of altitude, but the weather was colder.  You have to make adjustments, and we did that, especially our younger guys."

Senior Trey DelGreco shot a one-under par, 70, on Tuesday, and the Commodores also counted a 73 from senior Adam Hofmann in their final round.

Appalachian State stormed from the back of the pack to win the team title with a final score of 565 (292-273). Their 273 on Tuesday set a new Hummingbird record.

Kristopher Gray of Gardner Web claimed medalist honors with a seven-under par, 135 (67-68), two strokes better than Paul Dunne of UAB, who finished in second.

The Hummingbird Intercollegiate concluded the Commodores' final tournament of the fall. Vanderbilt returns to the course February 20-21, 2012, at the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate.
