ORLANDO, Fla. - GW golf posted its best round of the tournament on Wednesday afternoon, finishing the Atlantic 10 Championship in fifth place with a 3-over 867.

The final total of 867 is the fewest strokes for the Revolutionaries at the A-10 Championship since 2022 and marks the program's fourth top-five finish in the last five seasons.

The Buff & Blue improved their score each day of the championship, culminating in a 5-under 283 on Wednesday. Three Revolutionaries shot under par on the final 18, led by Adam Bencik, who carded a 3-under 69 to finish the championship in a tie for 24th with a total score of 5-over 221.

Maxime Lam made it three under-par rounds in as many days with a 2-under 70 and was GW's top individual finisher, tying for fourth with a 5-under 211. Thanks to an eagle on the par-5 13th, Philippe Thorin also finished in red figures with a 1-under 71 to finish tied for 33rd overall with an 8-over 224.
