Tuesday, March 4, 2025 | Men's Golf
Florida shot a 7-under round three with five Gators placing par or better today.
LAS VEGAS - The No. 11/10 Florida men's golf team finished strong at the Southern Highlands Collegiate, tying for a tournament-best 7-under final round for a T5 outing on Tuesday.
After shooting +19 in the opening windy round and +7 in the second, Florida continued to improve each round with five out of six Gators shooting par or better today. The team round of 7-under was tied for the lowest with No. 2/2 Auburn, who won the tournament at 9-under.
Three Gators finished in the top-21 led by Jack Turner with an 8th place performance for his team-high fifth top-10. He fired a final round of 4-under 68, which after a bogey on his third hole, he finished bogey-free with five birdies. The sophomore recorded his 10th career top-10 in his 15th collegiate stroke play event while marking his team-high 11th par or better round this season.
Only a shot behind at 2-over for the week, was Matthew Kress (individual). He carded his second consecutive round of 2-under 70 en route to a T9 finish. In his last two starts, Kress has finished T6 & T9 with four rounds of par or better.
Freshman Zack Swanwick also had a final round of 2-under 70 to total 5-over in his fourth start in the lineup. He finished T21 and logged four birdies in his final set of 18-holes, highlighted by a bogey-free 3-under front nine.
In back-to-back starts in the lineup, redshirt-freshman Rylan Shim notched his low round at Southern Highlands Golf Club with a 1-under 71 this afternoon to finish T63 at +13.
Luke Poulter (+7, T30) and Ian Gilligan (+8, T34) both ended within a shot of one another in round three and overall. Gilligan had an even-par 72 as Poulter had a 1-over 73, who closed out his 54-holes with an eagle on the par5 (592) 9th.
Two more regular-season tournaments remain with the Schenkel Invitational (March 21-23) and Calusa Cup (April 6-8).
