PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. – The UCF men’s golf team wrapped up its fall season with a fifth-place finish at the FAU Invitational held at the PGA National Resort Tuesday afternoon. The Knights fired a team score of 879 (+27) thanks to a 293 (+9) in the final round.

Junior Lucas Dutartre led the Black and Gold with a two-over-par 215 to tie for fourth on the player leaderboard. In his first season with UCF, Dutartre has finished among the top 10 in three of the four tournaments this fall. Dutartre recorded a 73 in Tuesday's third round with a birdie on hole 10.

Hans Risvaer, a sophomore from Miami, also tallied a top-20 finish, tying for 15th on the player leaderboard with a 219 (+6). He put together his best round of the tournament on Tuesday, carding a one-under-par 70 with five birdies.

Junior Chase Haygood shot a 77 (+6) Tuesday and ended the invitational tied for 28th with a 221 (+8). After firing a 72 in the first two rounds, Haygood eagled No. 10 and birdied No. 5, but a couple bogeys inflated his score.

Felix Schrott and Jakob Stavang Stubhaug each recorded a 228 (+15), finishing tied for 52nd. Schrott charted a 75, 80 and closed out the tournament with a 73. Stubhaug, competing as an individual, tallied a 73, 77, and 78 in Tuesday's final round.

Clemente Silva rounded out the lineup for the Knights with a 232. He registered a 76 in both rounds Monday and an 80 on Tuesday.

UCF has now concluded its fall season and will have nearly a three-month break before returning to action in February at the Sea Best Invitational.
