Three Cats shot under par on the final day and two finished in the top ten to carry the team over the top.  Manchester, Kentucky's finest, Chip McDaniel, shot 6-under, good enough for fourth overall.  Freshman Lukas Euler had his first ever top ten finish, tying for sixth at 4-under. The Cats will hit the links in the National Championship for the first time since 2014 when the action begins in Oregon on May 27.
