MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Florida A&M put together the most complete team performance of the event, finishing at even par to win the tournament and separate itself from the field in a statement performance. The Rattlers were the only team to finish at par or better, using consistency across all three rounds to outdistance Alabama A&M (+7) and the rest of the competition.<\/p>\n
Florida A&M’s win was powered by Phalatphon Viboonviriyasakul<\/a>, who finished second individually at 8-under par, just two shots off medalist Robert Woods of Alabama State. Viboonviriyasakul surged into contention with rounds of 68 (-4) and 67 (-5) before closing with a 73 (+1), giving the Rattlers one of the top individual performances in the field.<\/p>\n The Rattlers also showed their depth with multiple golfers finishing near the top of the leaderboard. Taylor Bell<\/a> placed eighth at 1-over, while Miguel Illas tied for 12th at 6-over. Emilio Garcia<\/a> tied for 14th at 7-over, Jonathan Scott<\/a> placed 16th at 8-over, and Sascha Robinson<\/a> tied for 21st at 10-over as Florida A&M turned in the strongest overall team effort of the tournament.<\/p>\n Florida A&M opened with a 1-over first round, followed with a tournament-best 3-under second round, and closed at 2-over in the final round to secure the championship. That steady play helped the Rattlers finish 11 shots clear of third-place Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Evansville, both at 11-over.<\/p>\n Notes
