Five teams competed in the two-day competition: Darton, South Georgia College, ABAC, Andrew College and Gordon were invited. After two days, the Tigers posted a total of 640. SGC finished third overall and three shots behind ABAC for second place. Darton won the tournament with a score of 600. ABAC was next with a 637, followed by SCG (640), Andrew College and Gordon College.
