GROVE CITY, Ohio – The Kent State men's golf team pulled away in the final round of the MAC Championship on Tuesday at Pinnacle Golf Club to claim the program's 29th MAC title. 

Jordan Gilkison won the individual conference title, posting a 2-under-par 70 in round three to finish atop the 45 golfers competing at 8-under-par. It is the third conference title the Flashes have won under head coach Jon Mills, who led the team to MAC Championships in 2021 and 2022.

The Flashes finished the three round Championship with a score of 854 (-12). Ball State finished in second place (870, +6), while Eastern Michigan placed third (872, +8). 

Gilkison used a strong third round to come back from a four-stroke deficit entering the day and claim the individual crown. The senior was one of just three golfers to fire a score under par on Tuesday with his 2-under-par 70. Gilkison fired four birdies to just two bogeys in round three to finish three strokes ahead of the runner-up. He also celebrates his second team MAC Championship, as Gilkison was a member of the 2022 MAC champion squad.

With the conference title, the Golden Flashes advance to the NCAA Regional round. The team will find out their regional destination during the selection show, which will be aired live on Wednesday, April 30, at 1 p.m. on the Golf Channe
