ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Miners Golf finished in third place at the Midwest Regional Preview, highlighted by an Isaac To (Petaling Jaya, Malaysia/Real International School) first place trophy.

As a team, the Miners finished +17, five behind UMSL in second and 12 behind first place Ferris State.

After the first round, S&T were in second place, one stroke behind Tiffin. As a team, S&T shot a 288, the best of the preview. To guided the Miners with a 65 in the round. That score was the second best of the course through all three rounds. Cole Komyati (Elberta, AL/Bayside Academy) and Nicolas Estrada (Zaragoza, Spain/IES Valdespartera) both shot a 74, and Connor Benjamin (Nelson Bay, Australia/St. Philip's Christian College) collected a 75.

Missouri S&T dropped to fourth place in the second round after they shot a 292 collectively. Benjamin led S&T with a 69, while To kept pace in first with a 72.

In the third round, every player shot a 75 or lower to bump up the team to third place. To, Estada and Jack Coleman (Milton Keynes, England/Walton) all shot a 72, Komyati had a 73 and Benjamin recorded a 75.

To placed first out of 85 total players with a total of 209, one stroke ahead of second place. He was one of five players that finished below par at -4. His first-round score of 65 tied a career-best after his first round at The Perkins Intercollegiate in 2023.
