Julian Menser captured the Michigan Medal Play title in commanding fashion, carding an exceptional final-round 62 to finish at 6-under par and claim a three-stroke victory. The freshman standout from Michigan State, who hails from South Lyon, Michigan, showcased the talent that previously propelled him into the 2024 U.S. Amateur and earned him a top-20 finish at Indiana's competitive Boilermaker Invitational earlier this year.
Justin Sui, who placed second at 3-under, made waves during the competition by recording a spectacular hole-in-one. Reflecting modestly on his play, Sui noted,
"Did decent enough, got a hole-in-one on No. 14, with a 5-iron from around 200 yards. Congrats to Julian for winning with a great final round of 6-under 62."
Remy Stalcup secured third place with consistent rounds, finishing the tournament at 1-over par after recovering impressively from an opening 75 with rounds of 66, 72, and 68. (It should be noted that all the scores were higher in the first round on a cold, windy day that felt like late fall rather than early spring.)
Peter Stassinopoulos and Nick Gunthorpe tied for fourth at 3-over par.
The competitive spirit of the event was evident throughout, with Menser's impressive closing round and Sui's memorable ace highlighting the weekend's stellar golf performances.
