BATAVIA, Ohio - Kasey Lilly and the Purdue Fort Wayne men's golf team finished second at Northern Kentucky's The Jewell tournament on Monday (April 11).

Lilly's 141 was just one shot back of the individual medalist: Chicago State's Camron Jones. The Mastodons shot 580, just two back of Youngstown State, which won the event.

With the second-place finish, Lilly is now the program leader in top-10s with 11 and needs just two more top-fives to tie with Zach Schroeder for the program's best of eight.

After an opening round of 74, Lilly fired off a 67, 2-under on both the front and back nines. He had three birdies on both sides, coming on holes 3, 4, 6, 11, 15 and 18. Lilly also poured in 10 pars in his 4-under round.

Using a bogey-free front nine, Tyler Green matched his opening round of 73 for a 146 two-day total. He tied for sixth for his third top-10 of his season with Purdue Fort Wayne. Through 12 holes, Green was 1-under after birdieing the 10th to start the back nine.

Hunter Mefford was one shot back of Green with a 74-73-147, but tied for 11th. He turned in a scorecard with four birdies, two on each nine. He started the day 2-under through six holes after birdies on two and four, then got two more birdies on 11 and 16. He had 10 pars as well.

Burke Pitz was the fourth score taken on Monday, shooting 73. He finished with a 151 to tie for 27th. In his final round, he had eight pars on the front and four on the back to pair with two birdies on 14 and 18.

In the opening five holes of his round, Brett Seward was 3-under. He started his day with three-straight birdies, a bogey, then another birdie on hole five. From there, he dropped in seven pars to shoot 76. He finished in a tie for 18th with a 149.

Jadden Ousley (153, T-38th), Reece Compton (154, T40th) and Corey Ryan (159, T-56th) all played as individuals.

The Mastodons' second-place finish is the fifth time this year that the team has been third or better at an event.

Purdue Fort Wayne will compete at the Horizon League Championship in less than two weeks. They will head to Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida with the opening round on April 24.
