FAU posted a 274 in Round 3, tops among the field and four strokes better than the two teams tied for second, North Texas and UAB. The Owls also had the most sub-70 round finishers among the field on Day 3.
"I'm very excited about the future of our program and today shows that we can compete with anyone," FAU coach
Ryan Jamison said. "It was really awesome to watch Sully go out in style as one of the best FAU golfers of all time; that 66 was impressive. Obviously we didn't start the way we wanted, but I was very proud of our guys for battling back and never giving up. This is the mindset that we need to have no matter what. We have grown so much this year as a team in the future of FAU golf is very bright!"
