The Wildcats shot 5-over par during the final round, with junior Jacob Lang recording the team's best score of the day at 1-under par (70). Sophomore Gabriel Hull finished even in round three, securing a tie for 14th overall at 1-under par among 96 competitors.

The South Daytona, Florida native tied for the team high with 11 birdies and posted a 3.88 scoring average on par-4 holes, the second-best mark in the field. "Gabe really stepped up the final two rounds for us," head coach Gator Todd said. "He has real game and he's starting to show what he's capable of." Cole Stockard continued his consistent play, finishing tied for 21st at even par after a final round 73. The sophomore went 6-under par on par-5 holes, tying for the second-best mark in the field on those holes. "Cole didn't have his ball striking and still found a way to finish top 25," Todd said. "That's why he is our top player." Cameron Phillips tied for 28th at 1-over par in his first start of the season, while Jacob Settles competed as an individual and also finished tied for 28th.

The Wildcats will next compete in the Windon Memorial Classic on Sept. 28-29 at Onwentsia Club in Lake Forest, Illinois. ## Sources - [UK Athletics](https://ukathletics.com/news/2026/09/15/mens-golf-ties-for-seventh-at-bearcat-invitational/) - [UK Men's Golf official website](https://ukathletics.com/sports/mgolf/) --- This article was generated by AI (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) based on source material from UK Athletics.
