MADISON, Ill. – Connor Hamm and the Braves shattered records at the season-opening Dolenc Invitational, with Hamm winning the first individual title of his career and leading the Braves to a joint-third-place finish in an 18-team field.
Hamm began the tournament by shooting a seven-under-par 64, setting a new mark for the lowest 18-hole single-round score in program history. Hamm followed with rounds scores of 67 and 69 in the final two rounds for a 54-hole score of 200, a new program record for 54-hole score. Hamm's individual title is the first by a Brave since Josh Kirkham was a co-champion at the 2022 Dolenc Invitational and the first outright individual title since Daniel Lensing in the 2018 Crusader Collegiate.
