FULL INDIVIDUAL LEADERBOARD
NOTABLE
- This was the 18th GSC Men's Golf Championship in program history for West Florida. This is the seventh straight year that the Argonauts have hoisted the trophy.
- With the final score of 840 (-24), UWF set the conference record for lowest 54-hole score by 10 strokes. The previous record of 850 (-14) by Nicholls State had stood since 1979.
- Medalist
Elias Haavisto carded a 13-under par 203 (67, 65, 71). That mark ties the championship record set by West Florida's Juan Miguel Heredia back in 2016. Runner-up
Alejandro Restrepo's 11-under par 205 is the sixth best performance in tournament history.
- Lee made a run at UWF in the final round, but were never able to catch the country's top team. The Flames had two players,
Evan Spence and
Oliver Lewis-Perkins, named to the All-Tournament Team. It was the second time in Spence's career that he has earned GSC All-Tournament honors.
- Christian Brothers finished third in the event, which is the best team finish in program history.
