RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico – Junior Max Lyons led the Golden Eagles with a 3-under par 69 in the third and final round of the 2024 Puerto Rico Classic at Grand Reserve Golf Club.

Lyons (9-under 207 (67-71-69)) tied for 16th place in the team's sixth outing and recorded his third top-20 finish for the Blue & Gold this season. In the final day of action, Lyons recorded birdies in two of his first three holes on the par-4 13th and the par-5 15th.

Graduate student Josh Robinson finished second among MU players and tied for 64th overall at a 1-over 217 (69-73-75).

Lyons, who shot a 5-under 67 in the opening round on Sunday and was tied for fifth through 18 holes, got out to another fast start in Monday's second round.

He recorded bogeys on four of his final 10 holes to finish the day with a 1-under 71.
