Tar Heels 5th With 18 To Play At Williams Cup
October 20, 2025 | Men's Golf
The Florida Gators shot 12-under-276 for the second consecutive day on Monday to take a commanding lead after two rounds in the Williams Cup presented by STITCH Golf, hosted by the University of North Carolina at Eagle Point Golf Club in Wilmington.
Â
Led by Zack Swanwick, who is tied for the lead at 7 under par, and Parker Bell and Luke Poulter, who are tied for third at 5 under, the Gators are poised to become the first team other than the Tar Heels to win the Williams Cup, which is being played for the fifth straight season.
Â
Florida and Texas were the only two teams in the field of 15 that broke par on a sunny but windy day. The Gators have shot 24-under-par 552 through 36 holes, on pace to break the 54-hole tournament record of 17 under, which Carolina posted in the tournament's inaugural season in 2021-22.
Â
Texas was 1 under par today and is second overall at 5 under. Notre Dame, led by co-leader Nate Stevens, is third at 1 over, NC State is fourth at 6 over and UNC is fifth at plus 7.
Â
Swanwick and Stevens share the top spot in the individual standings at 7-under 137. Stevens made a hole-in-one on the fifth hole en route to a 67, which tied Florida's Matthrew Kress for the low rounds of the day. Those were two of the 13 below-par rounds (out of 81) in the second round.
Â
Swanwick and Stevens lead at 7 under, Bell, Poulter and Texas' Daniel Bennett are tied for third at 5 under and Carolina's Niall Sheils Donegan (68-72) is sixth at 4 under.
Â
UNC's Carson Bertagnole (71-73) is tied for 15th at even-par 144 and Sihan Sandhu (74-71) is tied for 20th at 1-over 145.
Â
NC State's Joey Lenane also made an ace on the second hole.
Â
The third and final round tees off at 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday. Follow live scoring all day at Golfstat.com.
