NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- The 41st-ranked University of Iowa men's golf team shot one-under-par (279) on Saturday -- its best 18-hole score in the three-round NCAA Yale Regional -- to place sixth in the 14-team field. Iowa's 54-hole score of 850 was one stroke behind seventh-ranked LSU (849) for fifth place; the top five teams advance to the NCAA Championships.
LSU began the final round in 10th place, but fired a tournament-best 12-under-par (268) Saturday to surge past five teams and join South Florida (826), San Diego State (840), Oklahoma State (842), and Vanderbilt (844) as Yale Regional qualifiers for the NCAA Championships.
