UTEP junior golfer Max Schliesing is closing his first fall season at UTEP on a roll.
His third consecutive top-10 finish last week in the Bahamas was a tantalizing near miss, as he took a two-stroke lead into the final round before finishing third, one stroke out of the playoffs.
He came here this year after two years at the NAIA school Houston-Victoria, where he went from his native Zermatt, Switzerland to earn Division I eligibility.
UTEP hosts the inaugural UTEP Open, a fundraiser, at the Horizon Golf Course on Nov. 11.
