“We could not be prouder of Greyson,” Georgia head coach Chris Haack told Georgiadogs.com. “He’s worked very hard to get to this point. He’s been a very steady player for us the last couple of years, so it’s nice to see him break through and get one.”
The junior ended regulation tied with Hannes Ronneblad of Texas Tech and Matthias Schwab of Vanderbilt at two-under 214. Sigg made par on the extra hole, while Ronneblad and Schwab each made bogey.
Last season, Sigg recorded six top-20 efforts, including a 10th-place showing in the Southern Intercollegiate Championship. Sigg’s career is on an upward trajectory, finishing second in the 2015 Georgia Amateur.
