PAWLEYS ISLAND, S.C. – Jacksonville State junior Erik Jansson continued his impressive run on the golf course in this week's Golfweek/Any Given Tuesday Intercollegiate.
 
The Gamecocks' No. 1 player used three rounds under par for the second-straight tournament to tie for fifth out of 96 players and finish in the Top 10 for the fourth time in as many tournaments this spring.
 
A native of Vasteras, Sweden, Jansson carded rounds of 70-71-70 on the par-72, 6,989-yard True Blue Golf Course, finishing with a 5-under score of 211 in the three-day, 54-hole tournament. He was just four shots behind medalist Jared Nelson of Connecticut.
 
He runs his streak of consecutive rounds under par to seven and has signed for a score better than par in nine of his 12 rounds in the spring semester. He runs his season scoring average to 71.67, thanks to a 70.25 average since play began in the spring semester in early February.
 
In this week's AGT Intercollegiate, Janssen was consistent across the board, playing True Blue's par-3 holes at 2-under par and torching the par-5s with a 4-under total. He tied for third in the field with 14 birdies.
 
He helped the Gamecocks to a 10^th-place finish in the 18-team event, turning in rounds of 290-287-298 for a 54-hole score of 875. Troy won the event, finishing ahead of Delaware.
 
Senior Ross Napier finished his 54 holes with a 1-over 27 to tie for 22^nd in the event. The native of Hartselle, Ala., opened his tournament with a 2-under 70 on Monday and followed that up with a 74 on Tuesday and a Wednesday 73. He was also 2-under on the par-three holes on the course, tying Jansson for the second-best mark in the field.
 
Sophomore Santiago Bailleres used an impressive second round to bolster his 54-hole score of 221 that tied him for 39^th. The Carrientes, Argentina, native shot a second-round 69 between an opening 74 and a closing 78 to account for his score. He used a birdie streak in Tuesday's round, carding birdies on five of the final six holes on the front nine to turn at 4-under. He birdied the par-5 fourth hole from in the water hazard, getting up-and-down after removing his shoes and getting in the water to hit his third shot.
 
Sophomore Jackson Bowman tied for 79^th in his Jax State debut, signing for rounds of 76-73-80 to shoot 229, while redshirt freshman Richardo Matho finished 96^th with a 238 after turning in rounds of 81-80-77.
