The Gators shot a final round of 279 (-5) to finish 16-under over 36 holes as Auburn won the stroke play portion at 41-under as Alabama, Florida’s match play opponent, finished 8th at 9-under.
Matthew Kress fired his third straight round in the 60s with a 2-under 69 in round three and finished a team-best T6 at 9-under overall. He made 17 birdies over 36 holes and in his five rounds this season, four have been under par.
After a five-shot improvement from round one to two (73-68), Parker Bell kept the momentum going and shot a career-low 4-under 67 today. It was the Gators’ third of the event (Kress and Luke Poulter in Rd. 2) and led to a T17 performance for the sophomore.
Finishing even for the stroke play portion was Poulter in T34 followed by Ian Gilligan (T44), who shot 2-under 69 today and John DuBois (T63).
