Tournament Results
OPELIKA, Ala. – Shooting its best round of the Tiger Invitational on Tuesday, the Florida Atlantic University men's golf team finished 10TH in a field featuring four top-50 teams. The Owls cemented their lead over ranked opponents No. 45 Arkansas State and No. 41 James Madison by scoring a 289 in the third round.

Senior Sully Zagerman led FAU and tied for 17th individually with a 1-over-par 217. It was a season-best performance for Zagerman, whose score has improved every tournament this Spring season (from 224 to 222 to 217). Reigning Conference USA Golfer of the Week Max Sturdza finished one stroke behind Zagerman, tying for 23rd.

Quotable

"I thought we competed well against a strong field this week," FAU head coach Ryan Jamison said. "We are so close as a team to really playing some great golf. There are a few areas to clean up, and I'm really looking forward to the stretch run of the season."
