AUBURN, ALA. – With inclement weather breaking up the final round of the NCAA Regionals at Auburn this afternoon, Fairfield University men's golf senior Killian McGinley concluded the final round of the tournament with a four over, 76, to finish in a share of 47^th place in the 72-player field.

Scoring a pair of birdies on holes four and nine, McGinley would close the front half of the round at just one over par, before opening the back-nine with five straight par frames. That streak would see him reach the 14^th hole before lightning in the area forced play to be suspended for just over two hours, leaving four holes to play when the round picked back up just after 4:00 p.m. in Alabama. McGinley saw himself finish an overall +12 which placed him ahead of each of the five starters from MAAC foe Siena as well as players from a number of schools in the field including Tennessee, Houston, Colorado State, Indiana and Marquette.

Kentucky's Alex Goff, ranked 82^nd nationally by Golfstat claimed the lowest score of the 10 individuals competing at the Auburn Regional, ending the tournament at an even par and tied for 10^th overall to advance to Nationals next weekend. Runner-up at two over par was Mercer's Tobias Jonsson, followed closely by Hugo Thyr of South Alabama who placed third in a share of 23^rd, and Luke Naglic from Arkansas State at seven over in fourth. Two players tied for fifth, followed by Cameron Clarke of Southern Mississippi one shot ahead of McGinley and Jackson Skeen of Tennessee Tech, and Brantley Scott of Troy at +15 rounding out the individuals.

McGinley ends his stellar 2022-23 campaign after setting a program record for rounds played in a season following the trip to NCAA Regionals and extended his program record for birdies in a season as well. He also became just the third Stag ever to score multiple individual victories in a single season, having won the ABARTA Coca-Cola Collegiate in Fairfield's regular season finale and is the sixth player in school history to win the McLeod Trophy, awarded annually to the MAAC Individual Champion.
