IRVING – The Texas A&M University-Commerce men’s golf team had two players tie for third on the individual leaderboard on the way to a fourth-place team finish at the Dallas Baptist Patriot Invitational at Hackberry Creek Country Club on Tuesday.

In their final regular season event, the Lions shot 873 (291-286-296, +9), their best score on a par 72 course this season and the eighth-best 54-hole aggregate score in the school record books.

Wilfredo Sanchez and Garrett Landers tied for third on the individual leaderboard, three strokes back of the individual medalist. The duo both shot 2-under par 214 in the tournament, and Landers’ even par 72 was the Lions’ best round of the final day.
