Niall Sheils Donegan won his first individual college title and the University of North Carolina triumphed for the second straight week and third time this season with a 20-stroke victory Sunday in the 2026 Tar Heel Intercollegiate at UNC Finley Golf Club.

Sheils Donegan, a junior playing in his first season with UNC, shot his seventh-consecutive round in the 60s with a 67 today to win by two strokes over his Tar Heel teammate Grant Roscich. Donegan shot 64-67-67 to finish 12-under 198, the 10^th sub-200 54-hole total ever by a Tar Heel.

It was the second tournament in a row that Sheils Donegan posted a collegiate-best finish. He placed third last week at 14-under 202 as the Tar Heels won the Augusta Haskins Award Invitational.

Roscich, who tied UNC's all-time 18-hole record and set the new UNC Finley GC record with a second-round 61 on Saturday, placed second with rounds of 68-61-71 for 10-under 200, both career bests for strokes and score to par.

Carson Bertagnole (66-70-69) was seventh at 5-under 205, and Sihan Sandhu (69-68-70) tied for 10^th at 3-under 210 as the Tar Heels placed four starters in the top 10 and ties.

Carolina shot 267-264-277 for 32-under 808, the Tar Heels' third-fewest strokes ever in a 54-hole tournament.

It was the Tar Heels 27^th under head coach Andrew DiBitetto.

Duke placed second at 12-under 828, while UNC's B team had the third-best result at 11-under 829. Officially, Texas A&M placed third at 8 under par, while Nebraska and UNCW tied for fourth at 2 under.

Following Saturday's 36 holes, when five teams shot below par in each of the first two rounds, only three teams bettered par on Sunday, with Carolina's 3-under the low round of the day. Duke (-2) and UNCW (-1) also beat par over the final 18 holes.

Carolina's B team shot 1-over today.

Hampton Roberts (67-68-69) finished sixth 6-under 204, Ethan Paschal (67-69-71) tied for 10^th at 3-under 207 and Keaton Vo (70-68-72) tied for 20^th at even-par 210. Misha Golod's 69 was one of only 16 rounds in the 60s today.

Sheils Donegan is the third Tar Heel to win this season. Bertagnole won in the fall at Notre Dame and Sandhu was a playoff winner last week in Augusta.

Carolina returns to action April 23-27 in the ACC Championship in Panama City Beach, Fla.
