Tech Golf in 8th Place at Southern Highlands
LAS VEGAS – Benjamin Reuter posted a 2-over-par 74 Sunday, pacing 16th-ranked Georgia Tech to a 15-over-par total of 303 to share eighth place after the opening round of the Southern Highlands Collegiate.
Starting on the first tee Sunday at Southern Highlands Golf Club, the Yellow Jackets played the front nine at Southern Highlands Golf Clube 3-over-par, but lost ground with a 12-over-par back nine and stand 16 shots behind No. 1-ranked Auburn. Reuter and Carson Kim, who shot 74 competing as an individual, are tied for 18th place individually.
The event features a 15-team field, including nine teams ranked in the Scoreboard Powered by Clippd Top-25 rankings and 13 squads in the top 50. Tech, making its 20th appearance in this event, won the tournament in 2001 and 2002 and tied for sixth place in its last visit in 2023.

Similarly, freshman Albert Hansson (Fiskebäckskil, Sweden)was in the top five individually after a 2-under-par front nine, but shot 41 on the back and finished with 3-over-par 75 and is tied for 2nd place.
Defending NCAA Champion Hiroshi Tai (Singapore) and sophomore Kale Fontenot (Lafayette, La.) provided the Yellow Jackets’ other two counting scores with a 76 and 78, respectively. Tai is tied for 20th place, Fontenot 51st. Junior Aidan Tran (Fresno, Calif.) did not count for Tech after carding an 81.
LEADERBOARD SUMMARY – Auburn, the defending NCAA Champion, took the top spot on the leaderboard with two players under par and shot 1-under-par 287, the only subpar team score posted on Sunday.
The Tigers are three strokes ahead of host UNLV (290, +2) with No. 24 Pepperdine and New Mexico tied for third place at 295 (+7). No. 9 Virginia (297, +9) rounded out the top five in the 15-team field.
The Rebels’ Caden Fiori paced the field Sunday with a 3-under-par 67, three shots ahead of Auburn’s Josiah Gilbert and Pepperdine’s William Walsh, who each posted 2-under-par 70. Auburn’s Carson Bacha and San Diego State are tied for fourth place at 1-under-par 71. Only five of the tournament’s 84 players broke par on a fair, but brisk day with winds up to 13 miles per hour.

Georgia to lose 33,600 jobs if health insurance subsidies expire, study says

Congress has shut down in a deadlock over whether to extend the pandemic-era federal subsidies.

Georgia is expected to lose about 33,600 jobs next year if federal subsidies on the Affordable Care Act marketplace exchange expire, according to a new forecast.
The study was done by researchers at George Washington University and funded by the left-leaning Commonwealth Fund. The ACA, also known as Obamacare, is operated in this state as Georgia Access.
The “enhanced” subsidies, which were enacted by the Biden administration during the pandemic to help many Americans afford health insurance, are at the center of a federal government shutdown that is entering its third week. Health insurance premiums will rise for millions of Americans unless they are extended.
The new study shows that jobs would also be on the line.
