No Record Is Safe
Purdue Fort Wayne has seen two records fall already this season, both by the hands of Kasey Lilly. In the opening tournament of the season, Lilly broke the 54-hole with a 208, besting the previous record of 210. At Marshall's tournament nine days later, Lilly broke the 18-hole record with a 7-under 64, two shots better than the previous record of 66.

Down the Fairway
In Tyler Green's first tournament at Purdue Fort Wayne, he shot 211, with an average of 71.67 in each round. While he does not qualify for the career or season minimums yet, this would be one of the two best in program history.

All Fore the Best
Kasey Lilly has finished in the top-10 five times in his career, including three in his shortened sophomore season. The junior finished as the runner-up at the Horizon League Championship in the spring of 2021, marking his second top-five finish. In the first tournament of this season, Lilly finished sixth at the EKU Fall Intercollegiate.

He's Pretty Tee-rific
After two-plus seasons with the 'Dons, Kasey Lilly holds the Purdue Fort Wayne program record for career scoring average with a 73.03 mark. He is also the leader in win/loss percentage with a .790 winning percentage. Last season, Lilly shot a program best 72.6 average in 14 rounds with an .858 winning percentage. Through six rounds in his junior season, Lilly has a 70.33 18-hole average.

Last Time Out
The Mastodons finished fifth at the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational thanks to a final round of 277. The 'Dons moved up five places in the last round of the tournament, as the 277 was the second-best team score in the field for the event.

Next Time Up
This is the last event of September for the men's team. They will return to the course on October 4 at Cleveland State's Tom Tontimonia Invitational.
