The top finisher for Emory was junior Brian Hanson, shooting a 72 (+1) on Tuesday to bring his three-round score to 216 (+3) and finish tied for 44^th. Hanson's final round got off to a tough start, double bogeying the first hole and bogeying the second.

Senior Tony Li climbed 17 spots on the leader board on Tuesday when he shot a 70 (-1) to bring his tournament score to 218 (+5). Li knocked in five birdies and four bogeys to finish Tuesday one under par. He went on to finish tied for 56^th at the event.
 
Li's classmate, Michael Burry, also finished his three rounds with a 218 (+5) after shooting a 73 (+2) on Tuesday. Burry was even with three birdies and as many bogeys through 17 holes, yet a double bogey on the 18^th hole saw his score inflated to two over par on the day. He finished tied with Li for 56^th at the Golfweek October Classic.
 
Senior Josh Qian had another strong round on Tuesday with a 72 (+1). After shooting a 77 (+6) in his opening round, Qian shot just one over par over his next 36 holes to leave him at a three-round score of 220 (+7) and finish tied for 71^st.
