He closed his tournament with a three-under 68, while his three-round score of 211 is tied for the 20th-lowest by an ISU junior in program history. Bravin's final-round 68 is tied for the team’s low round this season, and ISU’s 860 team score is tied for the 34th-lowest tournament score in program history. His final-round 68 is tied for the 22nd-lowest single-round score by a Redbird junior.

Women's Golf
Southern Illinois closed out its fall season in style Tuesday, winning The Braun Intercollegiate at Oak Meadow Country Club in Evansville, Ind. 
The Salukis finished first in the team standings with a 32-over-par total, following an opening-round 20-over and a strong 12-over final round. Southern Illinois entered Tuesday atop the leaderboard and held onto the lead to secure the team title by six strokes over Indiana State. SIU also placed three golfers inside the top five individually. Kayla Sayyalinh led the Salukis with a tied-for-third finish at four-over par. She had an opening-round 35 with a 39 in the final round to finish at +4. 

Indiana State surged in the field late with the Sycamores' top four scorers in the lineup combining to shoot five-under par from holes 15-18 as Indiana State closed out the Braun Intercollegiate placing second overall in the team standings. Louise Standtke birdied the 16th and 17th holes and was one of four golfers to shoot even par or better on the tournament's final day as the junior turned in a final-round score of 72 to finish tied for third overall (+4) in the field. The Lejre, Denmark, native was two-over at the turn after bogeying both the third and sixth holes. She rallied back late with back-to-back birdies on the 16th and 17th holes to card a back-nine 34 (-2). The third-place finish marked her second Top 10 result of the 2026 fall and her highest overall individual finish as a Sycamore to date.
