Conference championship season is underway, and Florida and Georgia Tech are among the teams who have a banner to their program’s record.
At the SEC Championship, John Dubois saved par on the 18th hole to secure a 1-up victory and the championship-clinching point, giving the Gators a 3-1-1 win over Vanderbilt. Fred Biondi (Ranked 3rd) went 2-0-1 in match play, while redshirt freshman Matthew Kress went 3-0-0 as the Gators won their 16th conference championship and first since 2011. Sophomore Gordon Sargent and senior William Moll (Ranked 21st) both went 2-0-1 in match play for the Commodores.
Ross Steelman (Ranked 7th) secured the ACC-title clinching point for Georgia Tech, as the Yellow Jackets defeated Wake Forest, 3-2, to claim their 19th conference title. Georgia Tech earned the No. 1 seed after posting a 16-stroke victory in stroke play behind the strength of four players finishing in the top 11. Tech freshman Hiroshi Tai finished runner-up to Wake Forest junior Michael Brennan, who won the individual title after a three-hole playoff against Tai.
In their last regular season event before the Big Ten Championship, Illinois won the Fighting Illini Spring Collegiate for the team’s sixth victory of the season. Senior Adrien Dumont de Chassart (Ranked 5th) posted his fourth collegiate victory, while teammates Piercen Hunt finished third and Tommy Kuhl (Ranked 23rd) was fifth.
