TicketsUniversity of Cincinnati sophomore Sam Jean (Greenwood, Ind./Center Grove HS) and junior Clay Amlung (Louisville, Ky./Saint Xavier) each registered career-best finishes Sunday, tying for sixth with 1-under par 215 scores during final-round action at the Steelwood Collegiate Invitational at the Steelwood Country Club in Loxley, Ala.

// QUOTING HEAD COACH DOUG MARTIN
On Cincinnati's play Sunday:
"We played very solid today. Anytime you have three guys shoot under par, good things are going to happen. Overall, we did a great job managing the course today. We took what it gave us and didn't force things. I'm really excited for Clay and Sam who both posted top-10 finishes. A lot of positives to draw from this week. We have a few days to get ready for Kiawah and another great opportunity awaits."
