SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Gardner-Webb men's golf finished just seven strokes out of second place, finishing in a tie for fifth at the 2019 Wofford Invitational Tuesday afternoon.

Gardner-Webb was paced by junior Steffen Smith (68-69-79-216), who had a stellar Monday – sitting at 7-under par after 36 holes. The former Greater Atlanta Christian standout came in at even par and in a tie for 11th individually after Tuesday's action.
