[Guest coachacola]

The Lamar men's golf team claimed a fifth-place finish in the Fighting Irish Gridiron Golf Classic at the Warren Golf Course on Tuesday.

Leroux Ferriera recorded his second top-five finish in as many tournaments with a five-over-par 215 total. With his rounds of 72-71-72 he was one of only four players in the 83-player field to post all three rounds of 72 or better. He also led the tourney with 12 birdies.

Hugues Joannes finished in 11th place at 217 following a final-round 74. He narrowly missed out on a top-10 showing by one stroke. Halso finished among the leaders in birdies, tying for second with ten.

Justin Harding's 75 on Tuesday put him in a tie for 22nd at 222. He had 12 pars on Tuesday and finished with 36 - the second-highest total in the field.

Wynand Snymon turned in his second-lowest score this year with a 72. He finished tied for 57th at 230. His three birdies on Tuesday were his most all week.

Jake Fuljenz tied for 76th at 238 with a 78 during his final round.

Good job but probably not enough to stay rated #1.

Yes, and Andrew Landry for Arkansas tied for 1st, who I think went to Arkansas with the coach.

Just checked out the updated Golfweek standings and Lamar is now #3, behind OK State and Tennessee.  Arkansas is #4, followed by USC, Georgia and Baylor.  Lamar, UNLV and Chattanooga are the only schools in the top 20 not in a "major" conference.

Other top SLC schools: Texas State is #79, SHSU is #90, Texas-Arlington is #95.
