UVa Golfers Finish Second at Seminole Intercollegiate

Tallahassee, FL – Despite posting its highest score of the week, the Virginia men’s golf team did not drop down the leaderboard and finished second at Florida State’s Seminole Intercollegiate at Golden Eagle Country Club. The Cavaliers shot 5-over 293 Sunday to complete the 54-hole tourney at even par 864. Vanderbilt, on the strength of a final-round 1-under 287, finished first at 863.

Virginia’s showing will strengthen the Cavaliers bid to return to the NCAA Championships. They finished ahead of No. 16 Arkansas, No. 26 Florida State and No. 28 Mississippi in the 12-team tournament. Earlier in the week Virginia won the Argonaut Invitational in Pensacola, Fla.

Will Collins led the Cavaliers in scoring, posting his second consecutive top-five finish. Collins shot 1-under 71 during the final round to place third overall at 1-under 215. He was fourth at the Argonaut Invitational, his best collegiate finish. The Seminole Intercollegiate was his third top-10 finish as a Cavalier.

Conrad Von Borsig, who started the day tied for first place on the leaderboard, shot 78 and dropped back to 10th. It marked the fourth top-10 finish during his four-year career. Kyle Stough and Steven Rojas tied for 18th at 219 and Ben Kohles was 28th at 222. Cole Willcox, playing as a non-scoring individual, was 22nd at 221.

Vanderbilt’s Ryan Haselden took medalist honors by one shot at 3-under 213.

The Cavaliers return to action March 20-22 at the Chris Schenkel Invitational in Statesboro, Ga.
