WILLIAMSBURG, Va.—Top-15 finishes from Logan Hunter, Camden Goldknopf and Luke Walmet paced William & Mary men's golf to its first top five finish in its home event since 2021, the Golden Horseshoe Intercollegiate, on Monday and Tuesday.
 
The Tribe finished with a team score of 13-over 865 (286-290-287), nine shots behind the winners Longwood. Longwood's Justin LaRue and Georgetown's Carsten Judge shared the individual honors at 8-under-par over the 54 holes at the Golden Horseshoe's Gold Course.
 
After a hot start in the final round, the Tribe found themselves tied for the lead with Lancers but were unable to stay in touch on the back nine to make a run.
 
The event marked the first time this season W&M has posted scores of 290-or-lower in all three of a tournament.
 
13 teams in total made up this year's tournament field.
 
Hunter, who finished T-11 at 2-over, started out strong with a 2-under 69 with six birdies on Monday morning. He added four more birds in the afternoon on his way to posting 36 on both the front and back sides for a 72. Hunter turned in red figures on Tuesday morning's final round before carding a 74 for a 54-hole total of 215.
 
Freshman Camden Goldknopf was a model of consistency, as he has been for most of his rookie campaign. Goldknopf turned in three identical scores of 1-over 72 to finish 14th for the event at 216. The Floridian bounced back nicely from a front-nine 40 in Monday's opening round before coming home with birdies on 15, 17 and 18 to shoot a bogey-free 32 on the back. His splits were 34-38 and 35-37 in the last two rounds.
 
Luke Walmet was a shot behind Goldknopf at T-15. The Tribe sophomore was also very consistent, posting scores of 73-72-72. Walmet's final round on Tuesday was his most steady of the week, carding 14 pars with a pair of bogeys and a pair of birdies.
 
The Tribe lineup was rounded out by Preston Burton (T-20, 72-74-72) and Max Johnson (T-34, 73-76-73). Burton's tournament was highlighted by a pair of eagles, the par-5 6th in the first round and the par-5 2nd in the third round. Johnson played his first 16 holes in 1-under on Tuesday.
 
Grady Williams (T-56, 71-78-79), Scott Hanna (T-61, 77-77-76), Jake Newman (81st, 78-82-80) and Davis Adams (83rd, 78-84-82) all competed as individuals for W&M.
