Final Results

GREENVILLE, N.C. - Freshman Václav Tichý picked up the best finish of his young career on Tuesday afternoon, leading the James Madison men's golf team to a third-place finish at the ECU Intercollegiate, hosted at the par-72, 6,830-yard Brook Valley Country Club.

Tichý finished tied for third himself on a leaderboard of 96 players, notching rounds of 74-70-71 (-1) on the week to earn his first individual top-five finish since joining the Dukes. The performance, which saw him lead the event in par-5 scoring (-7), also marked his first 54-hole score under par.

As a team, the Dukes closed strong, posting the lowest final round in the field (289, +1) on Tuesday to climb into sole possession of third place, just three shots behind host and team champion East Carolina.

JMU now has three top-three finishes in just seven team events in 2022-23.

Freshman Owen Kose continued to perform well, earning the second top-10 finish of his own freshman campaign, as he fired rounds of 74-73-73 (+4) to tie for 10th place, while sophomore Daniel Cheng tied for 19th, four shots behind him (77-75-72).

Sophomore Kyle Kushnir (77-76-73) and senior Nick Schlickenrieder (78-77-75) closed out the JMU scoring in ties for 33rd and 48th, respectively.

Playing as an individual, junior Sigurður Blumenstein joined Schlickenrieder in a tie for 48th, carding rounds of 79-74-77 on the week.
