HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, FL – The St. John Fisher University men's golf team wrapped up its 2025-26 season on Wednesday in the NCAA Division III Championship at the Mission Resort and Inn. 

The Cardinals, who shot 81-over-par 653 over the first two rounds, finished below the cut line for the third and fourth rounds, which will be played Thursday and Friday on the club's El Campeón course. Only the top 18 teams and the top six individuals not on one of those teams will make the cut. 

Fisher needed to complete first-round play before starting the second round on Wednesday after lighting suspended action for teams that teed off during the afternoon wave on Tuesday. The Cardinals ended the first round at +46 (330 strokes) and the second at +35 (323 strokes). 

The Cardinals competed on the Las Colinas course in the first round and the El Campeón course in the second. 

Top Performers

Sophomores Colin Patterson and Nick Years finished 18-over 161, tied for 193rd place. 

Patterson carded an 81 with a pair of birdies in the first round and an 80 with an eagle on the par-five first hole in the second. Years turned in an 11-over 82 in the first round before finishing strong with a seven-over 79 second round, which increased his standing on the leaderboard by eight spots. He recorded a birdie on the par-five 14th hole in the second round. 

Sophomores Robert Fischer, Jack Doran and Christos Theodore were the Cardinals' other three representatives.
