DICKSON, Tenn. (October 8, 2024) - The No. 17 Truett McConnell University men's golf team traveled to compete in the Music City Collegiate, hosted by Cumberland University, on Monday-Tuesday, when the Bears had a strong showing in a tough field of competition. TMU finished up tied in eighth out of 19 teams with a team score of 889 through three rounds, while No. 13 QUAZ was crowned tournament champion. 

The Bears were featured besting No. 15 Cumberland, No. 19 William Carey, No. 22 Point, and all competing Appalachian Athletic Conference members. 

Most notable, Ty Cranford displayed an outstanding performance as he was named tournament runner-up out of 104 golfers. Cranford showed his grit through all three rounds, scoring a 71 in both round one and round two, and finished up round three with an impressive 70 to secure his place on the all-tournament team. 

"Ty clearly established himself in this tournament as our No. 1 player and team leader," said Director of Golf Steve Patton. "To finish at -4 in a stacked field like this shows what an incredible player he is. I hope this is a breakthrough tournament for our program going forward."
