How We Got Here
The Commodores started hot, winning the Carmel Cup (sweeping all three rounds) and claiming titles at the Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational and The Bryson Invitational. They also posted solid finishes like 4th at The Invitational at the Honors Course and T-5th/T-1st at Ben Hogan. Strong showings included 2nd at Watersound Invitational (with individual success), 3rd at Linger Longer, and 2nd at the Mason Rudolph Championship. They finished 3rd at Mossy Oak Collegiate. Ranked No. 11/10, they placed 14th/15th in stroke play (rounds of 278-271-294, +3 total) and missed the match play cut. Senior Wells Williams led individually (T-17th at -5). No. 13 Vanderbilt dominated, winning the regional with a record-setting effort (finishing at -28). They set program NCAA Regional records, moved into first after Round 2, and secured the title. Will Hartman earned co-medalist honors. This advanced them to the NCAA Championships.
