WILMINGTON, N.C. – James Madison junior Václav Tichý produced a career-best second-place finish and 54-hole score to power the men's golf team to a runner-up showing at the Seahawk Intercollegiate on Tuesday afternoon.

After opening with a 70 (-1) on the par-71, 6,810-yard layout at Cape Fear Country Club on Monday, Tichý finished with seven birdies and only one bogey to card a six-under 65 in the second round of play. He closed with a 69 (-1) on Monday to place second on the 80-player leaderboard behind Nashawn Tyson of Florida Atlantic, who finished an incredible 16 strokes under par and broke the Seahawk Intercollegiate record for low 54-hole score (197)

Tichý was joined in the top-10 by teammate Daniel Cheng, who finished tied for ninth with a 54-hole score of 212 (-1) with three strong rounds of 70-71-71. It is Cheng's second top-10 finish of the 2024-25 season and ninth in his career.
