PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - Abilene Christian men's golf recorded its top finish of the season at the Florida Atlantic Invitational on Tuesday, wrapping up its fall slate in fourth place at Panther National. The tournament was shortened to two rounds as the Wildcats carded an even-par 576, paced by Grégoire Hoyeau in a tie for 10th place.
ACU followed a 2-over 290 first round with a 2-under 286 second round after entering the day in fifth place with only 3-6 holes left to play per golfer. Tarleton State captured the team title at 18-under 558, while North Alabama's Andrew Ferworn topped the individual leaderboard at 8-under 136.
Hoyeau shot under par in both rounds to close at 3-under 141, matching his career-best distance to par from the 54-hole Kosati Pines Intercollegiate in April 2024. He logged a 1-under 71 in the second round in his best performance of the season.
Hoyeau tied for fifth in the field on par-3 holes at 1-under while drawing for ninth on par 4s at 2-under. His seven birdies paced the Wildcats, while his 26 pars tied for sixth in the field. Hoyeau bogeyed just two holes, the fewest on the team.
