He helped GW finish in solo fifth at the 17-team event on the par-71, 7,010-yard Laurel Hill Golf Club in Lorton, Virginia with a 24-over 876 team total, the eighth-lowest 54-hole team total in program history.

The senior tied for the most birdies in the field with 13 en route to a even-par 213 total (72-71-70), which tied for the seventh-lowest 54-hole score in program history, just six shots off his own school record of 207 set in October 2011.
