Maas has played in each of UT's first fall tournaments and leads the team with a 70.0 stroke average. The No. 33 player in the current World Amateur Golf Rankings (Oct. 19), he posted a season-best individual finish with a tie for third place at the Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational (Oct. 3-4) at 6-under-par 204 (70-67-67). Maas has shot par or better in seven of his nine stroke-play rounds this fall, including three rounds in the 60s.
Maas placed 12th at The Stephens Cup (Oct. 10-12) at 4-under-par 212 (69-71-72) and tied for 20th in his collegiate debut at the OFCC/Fighting Illini Invitational (Sept. 16-18) at 4-over-par 214 (72-72-70).
