Riley Larson broke into the top-5 towards the end of the event and eventually finished in a four way tie for 3rd.
Jimmy Clark also had a great tourney as he finished tied for 7th and put on a show in round 2 by never shooting worse than par on any hole. USF followed up a solid first round with the best round of the entire tournament by any team and came within 3 strokes of first place.
