Drake finished with a 54-hole total of 857 (290-284-283), which is the second-lowest total for Drake since 2013-14 and the lowest total since recording an 856 in the same event two years ago. All five of Drake's golfers fired 54-hole totals of 220 or lower, a feat that the Bulldogs had not pulled off since prior to the 2013-14 season.
