JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. — Rhys Davies, the East Tennessee State junior from Wales, finished first five times last season en route to earning first-team All-America honors. Earlier this fall he tied for first at the Shoal Creek Intercollegiate.

His father, Graham, and his mother, Chris, have seen their son play in four college events over the past two-plus seasons. They had not, however, seen their son win on the collegiate stage.

That changed Oct. 16. Graham and Chris made the trip across the Atlantic Ocean to watch Davies in the ETSU-hosted Bank of Tennessee at the Ridges Intercollegiate. This time, their eldest son did not disappoint.
