Good morning, Tigers.

What else is mixed into today’s Bayou Brew?

⛳ On par
🏊 Dive in
🐯 And so much more!

🔼 On Par. The fifth-ranked LSU men’s golf team posted a one-under 287 on Sunday at Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, slipping one spot to second heading into today’s final round. Freshman Dan Hayes leads the LSU lineup at T14 after firing a four-under 68 with five birdies, while individual competitor Alfons Bondesson continues to shine at T4 with a two-under 70. Sophomores Arni Sveinsson and Jay Mendell are knotted at T19 after both stumbled a bit on day two, though Sveinsson leads the entire tournament field with 11 birdies through 36 holes. Hudson Lawson bounced back with a one-under 71 on Sunday, and Noah McWilliams carded an eagle on the eighth hole en route to a T32 spot.

🔼 Dive In. The Tigers are heading to College Station with a trio of divers looking to punch their tickets to the NCAA Championships at the Zone D Regional today through Wednesday. Leading the way is senior Carson Paul, who captured his second SEC title this season, this time on the platform with a 448.70. Sophomore transfer Travis Keith (Auburn) has been a steady contributor, highlighted by a 16th-place platform finish at SECs, while freshman Eve Nelson rounds out the group as LSU's lone female competitor. The field features 107 divers from 24 schools battling for limited NCAA Championship berths.

🔼 Double The Fun. LSU men’s tennis had a great Sunday, taking down Tennessee, 4-0, in the team’s first conference sweep. Later that afternoon, the No. 6 Tigers went out and took down Southern Miss, 6-1!
