GREENSBORO, Ga. – The University of Georgia's tandem of head coach Kirby Smart and former quarterback David Dukes shot 11-under en route to finishing as runner-up at the 2019 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge on Tuesday. They finished two strokes behind the Ole Miss team of Matt Luke and Wesley Walls at the Reynolds Lake Oconee Resort.
Smart and Dukes closed out their round with seven birdies on the back nine to finish second. They have placed second or third in each of the last four events, also finishing as runner-up in 2016 and third in 2017 and 2018.
Smart and Dukes earned $90,000 in prize money, which will be split between an endowed scholarship at UGA and the Kirby Smart Family Foundation.
