Max Lyons’ career-best finish helped propel Marquette men’s golf to a second-place finish at the Johnnie-O at Sea Island at St. Simons Island, Georgia, on Tuesday.
The senior’s 6-under finish over the two rounds earned him third place overall on the leaderboard, jumping 23 spots from his team-leading performance in the event last season.
Both junior Johan Widal and first-year Vinny Cervantes finished tied for 23rd, shooting 2-over for the tournament, which was a career-best finish for Cervantes.
Marquette finished one shot shy of Cincinnati for the title, and tied with Florida Gulf Coast in second. The team shot even over the two-round event.
The Golden Eagles will head to the other end of the country next week, playing in the Bell Bank “Pay it Forward” Collegiate at Wigwam Golf Club – Gold in Litchfield Park, Arizona on March 24-25.
