The UCF men’s golf season came to a close with one of the best finishes in school history Monday. The Knights ended play at the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship at Rich Harvest Farms in a tie for 14th.<\/p>\n

It marked the best finish for the Knights since they took 10th place in 2009.<\/p>\n

“This is a big accomplishment,” head coach Bryce Wallor<\/em> said. “We came in here and played well with a lot of very, very good teams to make that 54-hole cut. I’m really proud of my guys.”<\/p>\n

Extremely windy conditions made play difficult for virtually everyone on the course Monday. That included Knight sophomore Kyler Tate<\/em>, who was tied for fourth place entering Monday’s final round. But he struggled in the tough conditions and dropped back to finish tied for 23rd at 1-over par for the tournament.<\/p>\n

Freshman Bobby Bai<\/em> was +5 for the four rounds and finished in a tie for 39th. Juniors Manuel Elvira<\/em> and Juuso Kahlos<\/em> each wrapped up play in a tie for 72nd place at 13-over. Senior Ryan Stovash<\/em> was 83rd at +25 in his final collegiate event.<\/p>\n

With just one senior on a team that advanced to the final day of stroke play at the NCAA Championship, Wallor said his team’s performance should be a springboard into next season.<\/p>\n

“We lose one senior in Ryan Stovash<\/em>, who has played a lot of golf for us,” Wallor said. “Having said that, we’ve got a great player at home in Donnie Trosper<\/em> and some good freshman recruits coming in. I’m really excited for our future.”<\/p>\n
