HOMER, Neb. — Creighton’s Grant Feldman and Kyle Leydon earned Top 10 finishes as play concluded at the Throwdown Up Top at Landmand on Wednesday.

Feldman tied for fourth place thanks to a blistering finish. After shooting an even-par 73 on Monday, Feldman found himself tied for 13th place after 36 holes. He shot a 2-over par on the front nine holes before five birdies and an eagle saw him shoot a 7-under 30 coming in. Feldman’s 216 total (73-75-68-216) helped the junior secure his fifth Top 10 finish in the past two years and came after he finished tied for third at the same event last season.

Leydon (73-73-72=218) matched par in each of his first two rounds before a closing 72 to tie for 10th place. The redshirt freshman has now shot par or better in 5-of-6 collegiate rounds.

Radley Mauney tied for 18th place, improving each day from a 78 to a 74 before a final-round 70 and a 222 aggregate.

Owen Price sandwiched rounds of 71 and 72 around an 80, tying for 21st place with a 223 total, one shot better than 25th place teammates Gavin Gerch (68-83-73=224) and Cole Davis (74-74-76=224). Gerch’s 68 help him to the lead after 18 holes at the event and gave him four rounds below par among his first seven loops as a Bluejay.

Henry Kuehne (73-77-78=228) tied for 38th place and Brock Kuhlman (77-79-76=232) tied for 52nd place. Rounding out the CU participants were Jake Boor (77-80-81=238) and Owen Mackin (81-88-77=246), who tied for 61st and placed 71st, respectively.
