WAIMEA, Hawaii – The Pacific men's golf program put together its best performance in the final round of the 35^thAmer Ari Invitational, hosted by Hawaii-Hilo, moving up two positions to 15th place on Saturday from the Mauna Lani Resort Golf Club.

Senior Timothy Jung made the most of his final round, shooting a team-best seven-under par to serve as Pacific's top performer across the three days at seven-under par. Jung utilized a bogey-free front nine that featured six birdies to boost his score on the final day of competition into the top 50 of the individual leaderboard.

Senior Travis Robbie hit just one bogey across the final 18 holes, collecting a four-under par on Saturday to cap his tournament with a three-under par.

Sophomore Felix Bouchard tied Robbie with a three-under par total after securing a two-under par today.

Sophomore Brasen Briones completed his outing with a two-under par score in the last round to carve out an even par for the Amer Ari Invitational.
