Another difference-maker for Florida was Yuxin Lin's hole-in-one on the 203-yard 14th, which highlighted his even-par 70 Tuesday, which was the Gators' third-lowest round of the day.
Paced by medalist Nick Gabrelcik's final round 65, the North Florida Ospreys jumped five spots up the leaderboard into solo third after turning in the lowest round of the day at 6-under 274.That’s 🔙2️⃣🔙 individual titles at Sea Best for Nick Gabrelcik!
