FRESNO, Calif.—Paxton Maxwell carded a 1-over-par 72 in Tuesday's final round of The Watney Invitational to secure his sixth straight top-10 finish, tying for seventh place with a three-round 1-over-par 214 (71-71-72) at San Joaquin Country Club.

Maxwell's final round featured five birdies, including three on the front nine, as he continued his strong 2025-26 campaign. The finish marks his sixth consecutive top-10 showing and his sixth top-10 finish in seven tournaments this season.

Colby Hutchens shot a 2-over-par 73 in the final round to climb six spots on the leaderboard and finish tied for 48th with a three-round 11-over-par 224 (79-72-73). Hutchens recorded a pair of birdies on the back nine during Tuesday's round.

Ty Brady carded a 5-over-par 76 in the final round to finish tied for 62nd with a three-round 16-over-par 229 (78-75-76). JJ Tomsick shot a final-round 9-over-par 80 to finish tied for 67th with a three-round 19-over-par 232 (78-74-80), while Andrew Hawk posted an 8-over-par 79 in the final round to finish tied for 70th at 22-over-par 235 (76-80-79).

As a team, Utah Valley shot a 16-over-par 300 in Tuesday's final round to finish 12th on the 14-team leaderboard with a three-round total of 43-over-par 895 (303-292-300).

"Pax didn't have his best stuff this week but found a way to scrape out another top 10," said Utah Valley head coach Chris Curran. "The putter went ice cold at times. It wouldn't surprise me if he picks up another win soon."

Utah Valley will continue its spring schedule at the Bandon Dunes Championship, set for March 8–10 at Pacific Dunes in Bandon, Oregon.
