"Although [Lilly] was hampered by a back injury over the summer, Alex got healthy just in time for the fall season and has quietly and steadily improved his game- even beyond where he got his game last spring when he earned all-conference honors," said Carthage director of golf and head men's golf coach Jay Christiansen.

"To shoot back to back even par rounds of 72 on those two different, tough courses is a testament to his growth. Alex works extremely hard at his game, and he has the natural talents to match. What we are seeing now is a new level of poise and maturity, so his course management matches his ability. It has been very fun to watch, and I think it's just a hint of what we will see over the next few years.
