TEXARKANA, Ark. – Led by an all-tournament performance from senior Isaac MacNaughton, the Jacksonville State men's golf team wrapped up its 2023-24 season at the Conference USA Championship on Wednesday.
 
MacNaughton, playing in his final collegiate event, fired a 5-under 67 in his final collegiate round on Wednesday to earn all-tournament honors and tie for fifth in the event. The native of Truro, Nova Scotia shot a 54-hole 215 (1-under) on the par-72, 6,969-yard Texarkana Country Club and led the Gamecocks to an eighth-place finish.
 
MacNaughton, who'd opened the three-day event with a first-round 73 on Monday and a 75 on Tuesday, knew he needed to get hos final round off to a hot start. He did just that, making five birdies on the front nine and turning with a 5-under 31. He offset a pair of bogeys on the back nine with two birdies and almost drained a 35-footer on the 18^th hole that would've made three on the back.
 
Hos final-round 67 catapulted him 12 spots up the 39-player leaderboard on the final day and secured his second-straight top-five finish. His fourth top-10 of his senior campaign was also his second-straight tournament as Jax State's top finisher.
 
The Gamecocks played their best round of the tournament on Wednesday, shooting a 292 after back-to-back rounds of 299 on Monday and Tuesday. Louisiana Tech finished first in the stroke play portion of the event, which advanced its top-four finishers into Thursday's match play bracket.
 
Senior Erik Jansson played his final team event as a Gamecock this week and inches towards putting the finishing touches on one of the best careers in school history. The Vasteras, Sweden, native tied for 31^st at the CUSA Championship with a 54-hole score of 226 and will await the NCAA's Men's Golf Championship Selection Show on May 1 to see if his Gamecock career continues.
 
He carded rounds of 77-75-74 this week to bring his season scoring average to 71.06, currently the third-lowest in school history. His career scoring average sits at 71.99, which is the second-lowest in school history behind only Danny Willett's 71.96 from 2006-08.
 
Jansson finished two spots ahead of junior Ryley Heath in 33^rd in the CUSA Championship. Heath, a native of Dectur, Ala., signed for rounds of 76-73-78 to shoot 227 during the week. Redshirt sophomore Ricardo Matho tied for 36^th with a 232 (75-80-77), while redshirt junior Gabriel Restrepo finished 39^th after subbing in to play the final two rounds.
