Your UNLV golfin’ Rebels continued their solid play powered by a trio who shot under par for
the third straight day to finish runner up at the 2025 Credit 1 Mountain West Golf

junior Wyatt Plattner at 4-under 68, who eagled hole No. 7, and senior Trevor Lewis at 1-under
71. Making up the rest of the round’s scorecard, senior Caden Fioroni shot an even-par 72.
Little paced the Scarlet & Gray’s three top-10 individual finishes, climbing 10 spots into third
place with a career-low tournament score at 13-under 203. Fioroni and Plattner joined him in
the top 10 as they tied for ninth at 8-under 208, which was also Plattner’s new career-best 54-
hole score. Rounding out the lineup, Lewis tied for 30th at even-par 216 and junior Brett Sawaia
tied for 33rd at 1-over 217.
