BIRMINGHAM, Ala.-- Playing in a field entirely comprised of Division I teams, Miles made a big statement for Division II golf.

The Golden Bears came from behind to win the SWAC Fall Tournament at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Oxmoor Valley on Tuesday, winning by seven strokes over Prairie View A&M. Miles trailed by two strokes after Round 1 but got five birdies from Adrian Raya as he shot a 2-over 74 and three birdies from Zostrianos Giordani-Gross en route to an even-par 72 to help run down the Panthers.

Miles had put itself in good position to take the tournament in the opening round. A steady 2-over 74 by Lewis Whitten paced the Golden Bears, who sat in third place at +13, five strokes behind Southern and two in back of PVAMU. But the Jaguars began to fade early and were out of contention at the turn en route to a sixth place finish. Brayden Moye recovered from a double bogey on the seventh hole to shoot a 1-under on the back nine to finish his round at +1 73. Raya was hot on the front nine, shooting 2-under. He and Giordani-Gross finished tied for fourth at 5-over 149, eight shots back of Wesley Bairros Rodrigues of Alabama State.

Brayden Cochran, who was playing as an individual, was the top finisher for the Golden Bears. He also had five birdies in the second round - four of them coming on the front nine - to finish at even par 72 on the day and 4-over 148  Whitten shot a 6-over 150 to finish tied for 10th.
