Tennessee freshman Jackson Herrington finished at 9-under. Among those finishing at 8-under total were Wright State graduate Mikkel Mathiesen, who becomes the first player to advance to the Sweet 16 after earning a spot in the Western Amateur field through the Sunday qualifier since it resumed in 2021.

Mathiesen is joined by Oregon graduate Gregory Solhaug, Florida sophomore Jack Turner and SMU junior William Sides at 8-under.
