Final Results, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.\u00a0 \u2013 Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has found a variety of ways to win their last five appearances in the PGA WORKS Collegiate Championship presented by Chase and Kohler Co.<\/p>\n This week at The Park, it was all about team depth, considering the Islanders won the Women\u2019s Team Championship without any player finishing in the top six. Instead, they finished seventh through 11th place to earn a nine-shot victory over defending champion North Carolina A&T State University.<\/p>\n \u201cThe biggest thing with this group is, at any given time, any five of them can be the No. 1 player,\u201d Islanders coach Chris Adams said.<\/p>\n That team balance enabled Texas A&M-Corpus Christi to shoot 22-over Wednesday on the challenging par-71 layout to finish at 65-over 917. Samantha Gibbs led the way in seventh place, with Elsa Tornvall eighth, Tristan Gabbard and Lucia Ramirez tied for ninth and Hannah Creekmore tied for 11th place.<\/p>\n It was the fifth PWCC title for the Islanders in the last six years. They didn\u2019t play last year because they were in the NCAA regionals.<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels great,\u201d Adams said. \u201cAnytime you can end with a win in your last tournament\u2014I\u2019ve got three seniors\u2014it\u2019s wonderful to end on such a high note.\u201d<\/p>\n North Carolina A&T State University had a spirited comeback in the final round, shooting 299 to shave 11 strokes off Texas A&M-Corpus Christi\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n But the Islanders\u2019 team depth enabled them to win one for the thumb.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is a great event,\u201d Adams said. \u201cThey host it on a fantastic golf course. They host it like it\u2019s a flat out PGA TOUR event, and it\u2019s an honor to be here and to win.\u201d<\/p>\n Texas Southern University sophomore Thaiz Amezcua won Women\u2019s Team Medalist honors with a final-round 73 to edge Sanaa Carter (75) of North Carolina Central University by a shot.<\/p>\n With the two leaders playing on different nines, Amezcua didn\u2019t know she won with a par on the 18th hole until her teammates ran to her to hug and celebrate.<\/p>\n \u201cI had no idea,\u201d Amezcua said. \u201cHonestly, I still can\u2019t believe it. I\u2019m very happy about this. Last night, I was just thinking that it doesn\u2019t matter what I do, because I just try to be my best self. This is my biggest win.\u201d<\/p>\n Amezcua played her final nine holes bogey-free, a birdie on the par-4 16th hole for the margin of victory. She finished at 10-over 223, despite fighting a cold all week.<\/p>\n \u201cI was very sick the whole round,\u201d she said. \u201cI couldn\u2019t even think straight. I was just telling my coaches to please tell me what to do, because I have no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n Carter led by a shot after each of the first two rounds, but a double bogey on her 17th hole Wednesday was costly.<\/p>\n University of North Carolina Wilmington freshman Alexis Faieta won the Women\u2019s Individual title by five shots over Carolin Alblas of Florida Atlantic University.<\/p>\n Faieta led after an opening 4-under 67 that featured an eagle hole-out from the sand on the 14th hole that was featured on SportsCenter\u2019s Shot of the Day. She finished with a 70 and a 2-over 215.<\/p>\n \u201cJust such a high,\u201d Faieta said. \u201cIt\u2019s been so fun, even regardless of my performance, just everything else has just been a blast. The course, the location, all the people. I just had an amazing week, and to win is just the cherry on top.\u201d<\/p>\n About PGA WORKS<\/p>\n PGA WORKS is a strategic initiative designed to broaden the golf industry\u2019s workforce and beyond.
