Butler closed the season by tying for fifth at the 2023 BIG EAST Men's Golf Championship Presented by JEEP. The 54-hole event ended Sunday at the 6,884-yard Riverton Pointe Golf Course in Hardeeville, S.C.
 
Freshman Connor McNeely was the top-finishing Bulldog, tying for fifth at 217 (+1).
 
Sunday's conditions were the toughest of the weekend and the scores reflected it. After six teams were under par Saturday, the best round Sunday was nine-over 297 by Georgetown, which allowed the Hoyas to move from tenth to fourth.
 
Marquette entered the final round with the lead and was able to hold on for the 2023 BIG EAST title and the conference's automatic berth to the NCAA Regionals. The Golden Eagles shot 301 to finish at 873 (+9). Marquette was three shots better than St. John's in the final standings (876). Seton Hall (885) and Georgetown (886) followed, just in front of Butler and Villanova, which tied for fifth at 889 (+25).
 
Jack Simon of St. John's held a three-shot lead after the first 36 holes, but needed a birdie on No. 18 Sunday to force a playoff with co-medalist Bhoom Sima-Aree of Marquette. They finished the 54 holes at 213 (-3). Simon would win the BIG EAST championship and the conference's individual berth to the NCAA Regionals in a playoff.
 
McNeely shot 77 (+5) Sunday after rounds of 72 and four-under 68 over the first two days.
 
Damon Dickey and Will Horne each finished at seven-over 223 and in a tie for 19^th. Horne shot 76 Sunday, while Dickey carded a 77.
 
Daniel Tanaka tied for 34^th at 228 (+12), while graduate student Raymond Sullivan finished at 231 (+15), tying for 39^th. Sullivan had the best Sunday score for the Bulldogs, posting a three-over 75.
 
Sullivan is the only Bulldog who will see their NCAA eligibility lapse following the 2022-23 season as head coach Colby Huffman will return a majority of his talented roster that gained valuable experience over the campaign.
