John Hayt Collegiate Invitational Day Three
Men's Golf Wins The Hayt, 5th Title This Season
March 11, 2024 | Men's Golf
Maxwell Ford shot 3 under par in the final round to lead the University of North Carolina to a four-stroke victory Monday in the John Hayt Collegiate Invitational at Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.
The win is Carolina's fifth team title in eight tournaments this season and the 20th in Andrew DiBitetto's seven years as head coach.
The Tar Heels were the only team in the field to finish the 54-hole event under par. UNC shot 289-283-289 for a 3-under 861 total. Alabama, which led Carolina by seven shots after Saturday's first round, was second at 1 over par. Virginia was third at 4 over, Ohio State was fourth at 12 over and Duke finished fifth at 18 over.
Carolina's Dylan Menante (73-71-72) and Austin Greaser (73-69-74) tied for sixth place at even-par 216, three shots behind the medalist, Deven Patel of Virginia.
Peter Fountain (73-71-74) tied for 15th at 2-over 218, Maxwell Ford (79-72-69) tied for 20th at 4-over 220 and David Ford (70-77-76) tied for 32nd at 7-over 223.
Maxwell Ford made six birdies today en route to shooting 69, which matched the low round by a Tar Heel in The Hayt (with Greaser's second-round 69).
This is Carolina's first title at the Hayt. The Tar Heels tied for second in 2018 and were runnersup again the following season.
Carolina returns to action March 25-26 at the Valspar Collegiate Invitational in Palm City, Fla.
