Notably, Anderson led the tournament in Par 5 scoring (-8) while also tying for the tournament lead with 15 total birdies. Additionally, the Canadian was also one of 16 participants to record an eagle.
- Playing well as of late, USF has climbed into the top 50 of Golfstat's NCAA Division I Team Rankings as the green and gold sit at No. 45 heading into the weekend.
- Ready for a familiar course, USF will compete in the El Macero Classic for the third time in the last five years as the Dons previously finished third overall in 2021 (14-under-850/285-277-288) as well as a fourth-place finish (11-over-875/297-284-294) in 2019.
