Two college golfers have surpassed a long-standing scoring record at the East Lake Cup, one of collegiate golf's premier tournaments. Logan Reilly and Preston Stout both shot 65-stroke rounds, bettering the previous East Lake Cup record established by Scottie Scheffler more than ten years ago.
The exceptional performances came during the tournament's semifinal stage, where both players produced the kind of precision golf typically associated with professional tour standards. Scheffler, now one of the world's leading professional golfers, had held the record since his own collegiate participation in the event.
Reilly's strong showing helped propel Auburn to the men's final, while Stout's record-tying round advanced Oklahoma State to the same championship stage. The dual record-breaking rounds highlight the increasing caliber of play in collegiate golf and suggest both players possess the skills to compete at elevated levels of the sport.
The East Lake Cup, held annually at the prestigious East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, attracts top collegiate talent from across the United States. The tournament's final will determine the champion between Auburn and Oklahoma State.
