RESULTS

LAKE POWELL, Fla. (SMU) – Will Sides finished in fourth place at the ACC Championship, his seventh top 10 finish of the season on Saturday at Shark's Tooth Golf Course.
 
Sides came into the final day two shots off the lead after holding a two-shot lead himself on day one. Sides found himself in a tie for the lead at mid-round but was unable to find the birdie down the stretch to force his way into the three-man playoff. He parred his last 10 holes to finish alone in fourth with a final-round 72. He added another par or better round to his program record giving him 26 on the season (the previous record was 23 held by Bryson DeChambeau 2013-14 and Max Buckley 2011-12). He still holds the SMU single season scoring mark with an average of 69.56.
 
As a team, the Mustangs finished in 13^th. They were in an advancing position coming into the day but were unable to maintain the pace in what was a high-scoring day across all teams.  Facing a field of 12 ranked teams, the Mustangs shot even par and one-over in the first two rounds before a 16-over in round three. Stanford earned the number one seed in match play at 20-under.
 
Ben Steinmann finished in a tie for 36^th after a final round 77. He registered his best round on day one with a 68. The freshman won a tournament title at the Desimone Invitational earlier in the season. Steinmann posted the second-best season scoring average by a freshman with a 71.91.
 
Senior Zachary Kingsland carded a 70 in his middle round in between rounds of 78 and 77. He finished in a tie for 59^th. Seniors Gabe Post and Christian Clark both posted a 69^th-place finish at the ACCs.
