Simon Engman. Freshman
Thanattasorn Supinraj is set to make his collegiate debut, competing as an individual, along with sophomore

The West Bay Club course measures 6,939 yards and plays to a par of 72. Originally designed by Pete and P.B. Dye and renovated by Fry-Straka in 2018, the layout blends strategic challenges with the natural beauty of Southwest Florida's wetlands and preserves. The course, which carries a 73.6 rating and 139 slope from the back tees, is known for its expansive greens, thoughtful design, and environmental stewardship.
This marks Stetson's third event of the fall season, following appearances at the Whirlwind Collegiate Invitational in Chandler, Ariz., and the William H. Tucker Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M. Glaudas, a senior from Sainte Tulle, France, owns a team-low 70.7 scoring average in his first six rounds of the fall season and has paced the Hatters in both tournaments.
Arkansas transfer Lefèver, who shared the team individual lead in New Mexico, and averages 71.0 strokes per round, followed closely by Ronnberg. Five different Hatters have carded rounds of 70 or better in the team's first two events.
The Hatters continue their busy October schedule at the Furman Intercollegiate in Greenville, S.C., Oct. 18-19, before wrapping up the fall slate at the Florida Atlantic Invitational Oct. 27-28.
