Brett Schell (Ranked 92nd) tied for second and led Ole Miss to a runner-up finish, while Arizona senior Chase Sienkiewicz (Ranked 31st) also tied for second.

Additionally, two juniors added wins to the first year of their PGA TOUR University records, as Michigan State’s August Meekhof won the Colleton River Classic, and SMU’s Nathan Petronzio won the Wake Forest Invitational.
