WEST POINT, Miss. – Nick Fowlkes and Pablo Gracia shot matching 73s to lead Troy in Tuesday's final round of the Mossy Oak Collegiate at the Mossy Oak Golf Course. The Trojans slipped a pair of spots on the leaderboard into 13^th place in their final tune-up before next week's Sun Belt Championship.

Troy carded 49 birdies as a team over the 54-hole event, tied for the sixth most in the field. Gracia led the Trojans with 13 birdies followed by 12 from Brantley Scott; Scott shot even on the par-3 holes for the week, tied for fifth best in the field.

Gracia moved up a spot into a tie for 27^th place following his round Tuesday that featured four birdies, including back-to-back on the third and fourth to pull his card back to 1-over before he finished with five straight pars.

Scott, who shot matching 69s in both of Monday's rounds, shot 80 on Tuesday and slid into a tie for 30^th place. He picked up a pair of birdies on the day, shooting a four on the par-5 No. 17 and dropping a two on the par-3 ninth to close out his round.

Auburn ran away with the team title as the Tigers shot 46-under par as a team, 34 shots better than second place Ole Miss, while Cincinnati, Mississippi State and Liberty rounded out the top five.

Fowlkes made Troy's biggest move up the leaderboard as he jumped 11 spots into a tie for 55^th after his round of 73 that featured a trio of birdies, including on two of his first four holes. Jake Springer added a pair of birdies on his front nine as he shot 6-over on the day to finish in a tie for 67^th place, while Will Simpson rounded out the field for the Trojans in 82^nd place after shooting 81 on Tuesday.
