SEMMES, Alabama – The Texas State men's golf team climbed two spots on the final day of action to finish third at the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate at Magnolia Grove in Semmes, Alabama, on Tuesday. The team finish is the highest for the Bobcats during the 2025-26 season.
For the first time since the season-opening Myrtle Bay Intercollegiate,
Bryce Womack (68-75-68--211) led the TXST lineup, finishing tied for 11th in the 81-player field. The junior signed for his fifth and sixth rounds in the 60s this season and finished his fourth tournament of the season under par at -2. Womack registered 10 birdies and now has 15 rounds at even or under this season.
Host South Alabama won the tournament at 26-under while Kansas State was second at 21-under. The Bobcats (282-291-276--849) finished 3-under thanks to a third-round -8, the lowest third round for TXST since a final-round 273 at the Lake Las Vegas Invitational to close out February.
Seniors
Harrison Jaeger (73-72-68--213) and
Sakke Siltala (70-73-70--213) also finished inside the top 20, tying for 18th at even par. Jaeger signed for his first round of the 60s this season on the final 18 going 3-under 68, while Siltala shot 70 in the first and third rounds to bring his total for rounds at even or under par to 16 this season, a number he shares with
Ben Loveard to lead the team. The finish was a season-best for Jaeger as part of the lineup and was the fifth inside the top 20 for Siltala.
Loveard (71-74-70--215) fired his best round of the tournament on Tuesday, which included five of his team-leading 13 birdies, going 1-under to close out the tournament +2 and tied for 28th, and rounding out the Bobcat lineup was
Jose Manuel Berenguel Casas (74-72-71--217), who finished 37th at +4. Individually,
Enzo Dakiche (71-72-73--216) finished +3 and tied for 31st.
