The No. 15 Virginia men’s golf team finished third at the Wake Forest Invitational at Pinehurst No. 2 in Pinehurst, N.C.

The 11-team field included seven teams ranked in the top-50 of the current Golfstat standings.
Cavalier freshmen Ben James and Bryan Lee tied for second place at even-par 210. They each shot 3-over 73 during Tuesday’s final round. It was Lee’s best tournament finish and marked the fifth time in six outings this season that James has placed in the top-four of an event.
