NEW ORLEANS, La. – Kalle Svederman and Noah Blaickner shared the individual title at the Gulf Coast Intercollegiate, each storming up the leaderboard in the third and final round to tie for the top score. The Bears took home second place behind the efforts of Svederman and Blaickner.
 
The pair took home the individual medals by one stroke, finishing the tournament with a three-round score of 4-under 212. After starting the day in the top-10, Svederman shot a 4-under 68, and Blaickner shot a 2-under 70 to end in a tie. Svederman finished the tournament with the third-most birdies, sinking 13 in three rounds. Blaickner, on the other hand, just made very few mistakes along the way, with only five bogeys across 54 holes.
 
Vukasun Suturovic placed sixth after it was all said and done, sitting three strokes behind the leaders after an even 72 on Tuesday. Maksymilian Bialy maintained a top-30 spot, playing his way to a 4-over 75 to round out a 6-over 222. Bogdan Sandrini finished Tuesday's third round with a 75 of his own, but ended the day with three birdies on his last four holes, claiming a 35 on the back nine.
 
Svederman and Blaickner's titles are the first for Central Arkansas since the fall of 2023, and marks the second time that two Bears have been in the top-ten of a tournament this season. ULM claimed the team title, five strokes ahead of the Bears, and Western Carolina rounded out the top-three. Behind the pair of Bears, ULM's Louis Anceaux finished in third.
