PAWLEY'S ISLAND, S.C. (Mar. 12, 2012) -- Led by individual medalist Sean Dale, the North Florida golf team claimed another team title Monday after outlasting the 15-team field of the 2012 General Hackler Championship at the DeBordieu Club. The Ospreys carded a final round 290 en route to finishing at 872 (+20), two shots ahead of runner-up East Carolina (874). The win was UNF's third of the 2011-12 season and first of the spring and also gave the squad top three showings in seven of eight tournaments this year. Dale, a junior from Jacksonville, earned his second individual title this season and third of his career after finishing with a one-under 212 including a final round 73. He was the lone player in red numbers for the event and edged a trio of players in second by three strokes. Dale distanced himself from the field by playing the Par 5s in six-under-par over the 54 hole event. There was a three-way tie for second at 217 between Ryan Eibner of East Carolina University (72-73-70,) Rhys Enoch of East Tennessee State (77-73-66) and Ben Kohles of Virginia (75-70-70.)
