CHAMPIONS!!! Wildcats Capture Second Atlantic 10 Championship

The Wildcats (296-276-287 = 859 | -5), who trailed by 11 strokes and sat third after day one of competition, played the weekend in 13-under as a team to claim their second conference title in four years.

In addition to its seventh (SoCon – 1954, 1960, 1966, 1967, 1968 | A-10 – 2018, 2021) league crown in school history, Davidson will make its second-ever NCAA regional appearance as a team.

Ross, a senior from Atlanta, entered the final round five strokes off the pace before making the turn in three-under 33. The 2018 Rookie of the Year grabbed the outright lead late and again with a birdie on his 54th hole, but Dayton’s Henry May eagled the par 5 last to take individual medalist.

After opening with a three-over 75, Ross (75-69-67) played his best golf of the spring by playing his final 36 holes in eight-under par to conclude his final conference tournament at 211 (-5).

He was joined in the top 10 by teammates Alex Heffner (218 | 8th) and Clayton Tribus (219 | T-9th), while Viraj Garewal and Brian Garrett finished just outside in a tie for 11th.

Dayton (+4), which led after the opening round, came home second ahead of VCU (+6) and Rhode Island (+10). Richmond finished well off the pace to round out the top five.
