The Tigers, playing in their third event of the fall, will be attempting to post a third-straight Top 5 finish.

Sunday, the Tigers were led by senior Isaiah Jackson. He shot 69-67 for 8-under 136 and is tied for fifth individually. Transfer William Harwood is tied for 17^th after posting scores of 69 and 70 for 5-under 139.

Each of the remaining three Tigers – Guillaume Chevalier, Phuripon Namkang and Rodi Vlasveld – finished at 4-under 140.
