UCONN INVITATIONAL FINAL RESULTS

HAMPDEN, MA – The UConn golf team held off a final round charge from Boston College to lay claim to the 2025 UConn Invitational at GreatHorse on Tuesday afternoon. The Huskies take home the team trophy at their annual tournament for the sixth time in the 16-year history of the tournament.

UConn turned in a three-round score of 864 to finish at even par for the tournament and best Boston College by three strokes to claim the trophy. The Huskies shot a 288 on Sunday, 283 on Monday and finished with a 293 on Tuesday. The Eagles posted a 867 to finish as the runner-up with Rhode Island and St. John's tying for third at 872.

The Huskies were led by junior Bradley Sawka (Ellington, CT) who turned in his best-ever finish for UConn, tying for the tournament's top-spot with BC's Markus Lam. Sawka finished four-under over the three days, with a score of 212 (71-67-74) and his second round 67 was tied for the low round of the tournament.

Sawka would face Lam in a sudden-death playoff to claim individual champion honors. Both players shot 4-under for the tournament. Both bogeyed the par 4 first hole of the playoff. But on the second hole – the par 3, 15th – Lam stuffed his tee shot to within five feet and his birdie topped Sawka's par to take the title.
