Gators grab their fourth win of the season while Biondi earns an exemption into the PGA Tour's 2023 3M Open Championship
Behind medalist Fred Biondi, the 11th-ranked Gators shot a tournament-record 39-under par for the 54-hole event to earn a 12-shot win over No. 9 Illinois. Florida wrapped up second-round action early Sunday morning with a five-shot lead on the field and came home in 13-under 275 to earn its fourth team title of the season.
Biondi began the final round two back of Illinois' Adrien Dumont de Chassart but a final round of 7-under 65 earned the Brazilian his second individual title of the season and fourth of his career.
Florida also received strong showings from Ricky Castillo, who finished fifth at 10-under and Yuxin Lin, who finished sixth at 9-under. John DuBois (-3; t-16) and Matthew Kress (-1; t-23) also finished in the top-25.
Florida will begin postseason play at the SEC Championship on April 19 at Sea Island in St. Simons Island, Ga.
