COMPLETE RESULTS
PENSACOLA, Fla. – For the second-consecutive day, the top-ranked UWF men's golf team had a stellar back nine but this time it came versus a pair of obstacles – fourth-ranked Lincoln Memorial and a 20-mile-per-hour afternoon wind at Pensacola Country Club.
Â
For the majority of the day, UWF and LMU went back-and-forth with neither team leading by more than two strokes. That all changed over the course of the last five holes.
Â
The Argonauts seemed to handle the winds better and turned a 2-shot deficit into a 6-shot victory, finishing with an 18-under-par 846 score – the second-lowest total in tournament history and 16th-best in program annals. UWF had rounds of even par, 8-under and 10-under this week. The team played the final 29 holes of the 54-hole event at 23-under while winning their own tournament for the 14th time overall and each of the last four that have been contested.
Â
It marked the second team title for UWF this Spring to go along with three runner-up performances.

Â
Alejandro Restrepo posted a third-place effort after a 66 on Tuesday allowed him to move nine spots and a 72-71-66=209 total. After a bogey on his first hole, he proceeded to make 10 pars and seven birdies, punctuating his round with a 25-foot birdie putt and fist pump on the par 3, 18th hole.Â
