BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The fourth-ranked UNLV golf team shot a final-round 289 Tuesday to finish in second place at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate held at the par-71, 6,958-yard Old Overton Golf Club.

The Rebels (279-278-289-846) finished 14 shots behind team champion Clemson, who finished with a 54-hole total of 832. Oklahoma State (847) finished third, followed by Houston (851) and Alabama (852).

UNLV Junior Jeremy Anderson shot a final-round 74 and finished tied with UCLA's B.J. Schlagenhauf for the individual championship at nine-under-par 204.
