A birdie on No. 18 from Cole Sherwood gave Vanderbilt the outright team win over UNC and forced an individual playoff.
Sherwood birdied the final hole to give Vanderbilt a one-shot win over North Carolina and force a playoff against Christo Lamprecht of Georgia Tech.
Then, on the first playoff hole (No. 18), Sherwood made another birdie to win the individual competition.
Vanderbilt finished at 16-under, holding off a valiant final-round effort from North Carolina, who finished 15-under and shot 10-under in the final round.
Oklahoma came into the final round with a five-shot lead over Arizona State, but a final round 14-over sent them into solo fifth place.
In the individual competition, Sherwood and Lamprecht shot 7-under to force the playoff. Sherwood won on the first hole.
