The 'Cats successfully lowered their team score throughout all three rounds of play at the Eugene Country Club (par 71; 6,997 yards), closing the event with an 861 (289-287-285) to edge Utah (285-288-290=863) for a spot in the top three. Led by individual medalist Jackson Buchanan (73-67-67=207), Illinois claimed the team title (294-278-278=850).
Svärd dazzled during his stay in the Pacific Northwest. Following back-to-back rounds of 72 on Monday, the Jarfalla, Sweden native put together one of the top individual rounds of the event, tallying seven birdies as part of a four-under-par 67 that saw him rocket into a tie for third place with a two-under-par 211 (72-72-67). Svärd closed the week with 13 birdies, a mark that tied for second amongst the 88-player field.
Akshay Anand turned in one of the most impressive 54-hole efforts of his career en route to earning a share of 20th. Out of Redmond, Wash., Anand piled up six birdies across his final round, turning in a one-under-par 70 on the way to posting a four-over-par 217 (74-73-70). James Imai rounded out a trio of 'Cats to finish inside the top 25, tallying a five-over-par 218 (72-73-73) to tie for 24th.
Making his return to the Wildcat lineup, Ethan Tseng carded a second-round two-under-par 69 as part of a 221 (77-69-75), tying for 43rd, while Cameron Adam shared 62nd with a 226 (71-74-81) which featured an even-par round of 71 during Monday's opening round.
