TUCSON, Ariz. –– The No. 19 New Mexico men’s golf team concluded play Tuesday at the Arizona Intercollegiate with the final round at Tucson Country Club. The Lobos shot 6-over during the final round to finish the event in second place at 4-over.

Albert Boneta capped a top-five finish on Tuesday with a 1-under final round 71. He finished the tournament T-4th at 2-under for the tournament. Connor Adams, playing as an individual, earned his first career top-five finish, also ending T-4th at 2-under after a final round 71. Carson Herron shot even par on Tuesday to conclude the event T-7th at 1-under. Bastien Amat finished the tournament T-13th at 2-over par for the week.

“Anytime you have four guys finish in the top 13 of a tournament, it’s a good week,” said head coach Jake Harrington. “Hats off to Arizona, who played incredible golf on a very challenging golf course. There are a lot of positives to take from the way we played this week and we are excited about getting back on the road this weekend at Bulls Bay.”

The Lobos will return to action later this month at the Hootie at Bulls Bay in South Carolina, held Mar. 24-26 just north of Charleston.
