PALM CITY, Fla. – Inclement weather in the forecast pushed the Valspar Collegiate golf tournament to a 36-hole finish on Monday, instead of Tuesday’s scheduled final round, and the guys put on a show.
Wake Forest had a share of the lead after day one and claimed the team title thanks to a herculean effort in the morning round Monday. The Demon Deacons shot 14-under as a team in the second round to claim a share of the lead with South Carolina. They never looked back.
Eugenio Chacarra’s 4-under 67 in the final round pulled Wake Forest away from the pack to win at -25. Auburn finished second at -19, followed by South Carolina (-15), defending champion Oklahoma State (-14) and Vanderbilt (-11).

Golfweek’s top-ranked player in the nation, Matthew Wolff, claimed the individual title at 14-under, fending off Florida State’s John Pak (-13) and Texas A&M’s Chandler Phillips (-12). It was Wolff’s fourth title of the season. That set an Oklahoma State record for most titles in a season.
South Florida’s Albin Bergstrom and Duke’s Chandler Eaton and Alex Smalley weren’t able to finish on Monday, but will play Tuesday morning.
