He delivered his best round of the tournament in the final round, firing a field-low 6-under-par 66 to climb into a tie for first place and share medalist honors. His final-round effort also helped Savannah State post a 1-over team score, a 25-stroke improvement from the Tigers' second round and their best team round of the tournament.
Earlier in September, Woods competed in Savannah State's season-opening Thomas W. Dortch Jr. HBCU Golf Classic at Bear's Best Atlanta, carding an 81 (+9). He responded in the Tigers' next tournament with one of the strongest individual showings of the fall, improving by 18 strokes relative to par and earning a share of the individual championship at the Wolves Fall Intercollegiate.
