Kansas and Missouri finished alongside the Cajuns in second place.

Kansas's Nate Barbee won medalist honors after finishing the tournament at five-under par.

Also competing for the Cajuns was Andrew Noto, Thomas Petts and Ethan Savoy. Noto had started the day among the top-10 but fell to a tie for 20^th place after shooting a 78 in the final round. Petts finished tied at 35^th place with a total of 230. Savoy carded a total of 246 and wound up in 76^th place.
