DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. --- Tusculum's Dominic Barron Holden shot a 54-hole score of 212 (-1) to capture medalist honors in leading the Pioneers to the team title at the Matt Dyas Invitational.

Tusculum finished with a three-round total 876 to win by one stroke over tournament host West Georgia (877).

Holden posted a final round 72 and birdied the 18th hole with a 20-foot putt to win by a single shot over runner-up Austin Fulton of West Georgia (70-70-73=213). Holden finished three shots clear of TU teammate Nicholas Marchese (69-71-75=215).

Holden's 72 matched the lowest score in the final round as he won his first collegiate individual title. His 54-hole score is tied for the third-lowest in program history while Marchese's 215 is tied for seventh in the TU record book. Both Holden and Marchese were named to the All-Tournament Team.

Missouri Southern finished third with 883 as the Bears carded the lowest team score on Tuesday with 297. Montevallo was fourth with 886, followed by Newberry (891), Spring Hill (903), Emmanuel (912), Miles (914), Southern Wesleyan (915), North Greenville (927) and Georgia Military College (950).

TU's Riley Brown tied for 26th place with 76-71-79=226, while the duo of Liam van Deventer (75-75-78=228) and Liam Hermansson (78-76-74=228) finished 33rd.

Tusculum wrap up a successful fall season as the Pioneers won two tournaments and finished in the top-three in four of their five events. TU returns to action Feb. 14-15 at the Spring Kickoff Intercollegiate in St. Augustine, Florida.
