Swartz overcame an early two-stroke deficit and made two birdies on the back nine to finish at even par. He ended the round tied for 14th individually. Jack VanderSchuur followed with a 1-over 73, including three birdies and back-to-back birdies on holes 12 and 13, to stand tied for 28th.

Thomas Evans made his collegiate debut and was tied for 67th in the summary table with a listed score of 78. The game narrative lists Evans at 76 with two birdies, creating a discrepancy in the source recap. Liam Fernandez shot an 8-over 80 and was tied for 75th.
Georgia Southwestern leads the field
Host Georgia Southwestern led the team standings at 5-under 283. Harry Dickins held the individual lead at 4-under 68.
Florida Southern College is scheduled to play the final round Tuesday morning at 8:30 a.m. The weather-shortened Hurricane Invitational will conclude after 36 holes.
FSB Take
Florida Southern College men’s golf enters the final round tied for 11th, with Swartz positioned tied for 14th individually after a 72. The weather has reduced the event to 36 holes, leaving the team one final round to improve its position. The official recap contains conflicting figures for Evans, so the summary table’s listed score and standing are reported separately from the narrative account.
