Right behind Sveinsson at T19 was Jay Mendell with an eight-under weekend (71, 70, 67). Mendell led LSU with 16 total birdies over three rounds, which helped powered his best round of the weekend on Sunday when he went five under.

Junior Noah McWilliams recorded a seven-under invitational (65, 73, 71) as he finished at T21 on the individual leaderboard. He tied his career best of seven-strokes to par in the first round with 65. He finished tied for fifth in par fives with a 4.33 average.
