Belleair, Fla. — Freshman Braeden Hoyt fired a career-low 68 to lead the Rice Golf team in the final round of the AAC Championship.
Hoyt was substituted into the lineup prior to the round for Jaivir Pande. The 68 was his fifth round of par or better this year and second round in the 60's.
The Owls carded a three-over par 283 to finish in seventh-place at +18.
Junior Raghav Chugh tied for 25th-place at +5 after closing with a 76. Fifth-year senior Jay Kirchdorfer carded a 72 to tie for 29th-place at +7.
Sophomore Lukas Boandl posted a 71 to tie for 38th-place at +8 and freshman Reggie Zhu tied for 41st-place at +9 after closing with a 72.
South Florida won the team title at -12, seven strokes in front of SMU. South Florida's Jake Peacock earned medalist honors at -11, five strokes in front of North Texas' Tucker Allen.

"The guys fought hard today and posted one of the better rounds of the tournament. We had three freshmen play this week and they got some valuable experience Braeden (Hoyt) really came through for us today as the substitute with a solid round. Jay (Kirchdorfer) went out with a nice round, finishing a nice career for us. It's not the result we were hoping for, but it was a good experience for the guys."
