ANNAPOLIS, Md.—Max Johnson earned his first top-10 finish with William & Mary to pace the Tribe men's golf team to a third-place finish at The Goat, hosted by Navy, on Saturday and Sunday.
 
The Alabama native posted a 1-over total of 214 over the three rounds at the Naval Academy Golf Club to finish T-9. The Tribe fired scores of 293-289-290 to earn their best finish in a tournament since last October. Pacific coasted to a victory in the 15-team field with a team score of 851.
 
Johnson shot 73-72 over the 36-holes on Saturday before turning in a 2-under 69 in the final round for W&M. The graduate transfer from Auburn had a clean card on the front nine Sunday, going out in 1-under 34 before using four back-nine birdies to finish off the round in red figures. The front proved to be a consistent side for Johnson all weekend as he played the side to the tune of even-par over the three rounds.
 
Freshman, Camden Goldknopf, backed up a stellar collegiate debut with a T-13 finish for the Tribe this weekend. The Floridian shot 1-under 70 in the second round sandwiched by rounds of 73 and 72 in the first and third rounds. He made 12 birdies over the 54-holes to be the second-best scorer for W&M.
 
Preston Burton carded a 222 total over the 54-holes for W&M to finish T-33. Burton, a sophomore, posted match 74's in each round.
 
The Tribe lineup was rounded out by Grady Williams and Logan Hunter. Both finished in a tie for 45^th with a total of 226 with rounds of 73 being their low score of the weekend.
 
Hunter's first round had plenty of excitement, as he made a hole-in-one on the seventh hole of the Naval Academy Golf Club. The Tribe senior hit an 8-iron on the 172-yard hole for his first ever ace.
 
W&M returns to action next Monday at West Virginia's event at Nemacolin in Western Pennsylvania.
