Stamey jumps up to third with 71 in final round at Memphis Intercollegiate

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Nathan Stamey was one of just six players to shoot under par in Tuesday’s final round at the prestigious Colonial CC, carding a one-under 71 to tie for third in the individual standings at the Memphis Intercollegiate.

UNCG finished 11th in the team standings, shooting a final round 302. Louisville, which began the day with a 13-shot advantage, coasted to the team title by 11 shots over TCU. The Cardinals finished at 857 and had all five players log Top 20 individual finishes.

Stamey, a junior from Pisgah, NC, fired rounds of 71 and 73 on Monday. He strung together a 71 on Tuesday for his best finish since winning his first collegiate tournament, the 2004 Mid Pines Intercollegiate, which was also the only other time had two sub-par rounds in a tournament. It was his third Top 5 finish of his college career.

UNCG returns to action this weekend when it plays in the Coca-Cola Duke Intercollegiate in Durham, NC.
