The top-ranked Keiser University men's golf team closed out its fall schedule with a second-place finish at the Citrus Intercollegiate on Tuesday, placing ahead of 10 NCAA Division II programs at Champions Gate Golf Club's International course.

The Seahawks, the only NAIA program in the 12-team field, posted a three-round total of 882 (+18), seven strokes behind champion Nova Southeastern (875, +11). Keiser finished one stroke ahead of third-place Barry (883), and also placed ahead of Rollins (886), Tampa (889), Palm Beach Atlantic (896), Embry-Riddle (901), Flagler (904), Union (TN), Trevecca Nazarene, Eckerd and Wilmington (DE).

Keiser took control early, opening with a 2-over 290 to hold the first-round team lead. Nova Southeastern (293), Palm Beach Atlantic (292) and Union (293) were the closest challengers. A 301 in the second round dropped the Seahawks one stroke behind Nova Southeastern heading into the final day. Keiser shot a 291 in the third round, while Nova Southeastern closed with a 285, the low round of the day among the teams.

Freshman Max Gipson led the Seahawks, tying for seventh at 220 (+4). He opened the tournament with a 3-under 69, which tied for the first-round lead individually, then added a 77 and a 74. Iver Sokhan-Sanj and Fridtjof Farhang both tied for 11th at 221 (+5). Sokhan-Sanj shot 71-78-72, closing with a 72, and Farhang was steady with rounds of 75, 73 and 73. Yann Ferrando tied for 22nd at 224 (+8) after rounds of 75, 73 and 76. Stanley Campbell, who withdrew from the first two rounds, returned for the final round and posted an even-par 72 that counted toward the team score. Matus Cedzo, competing as an individual, finished 59th at 240 (+24).
