Cole Sherwood (first/-16)
- A two-putt birdie on the par-5 17th gave Sherwood a one-stroke lead over Zac Blair, who was in the group ahead and in the clubhouse at 15 under
- Becomes the seventh player this season to convert a 54-hole lead/co-lead into victory, and also becomes the season’s seventh first-time winner
- This marks the second straight Korn Ferry Tour event won by a member of the PGA TOUR University Class of 2024, following Dylan Menante‘s win at the Tulum Championship at PGA Riviera Maya
- Last year in his first full season on the Korn Ferry Tour, finished No. 41 on the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Points List with top-three finishes at the 118 Visa Argentina Open presented by Macro (T2) and Club Car Championship at The Landings Golf and Athletic Club (T3); earned full status for the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour Season (top 75 from Korn Ferry Tour Points List)
- Finished No. 7 in the 2024 PGA TOUR University Ranking after four seasons at Vanderbilt University (2020-24), earning conditional membership for the remainder of the 2024 Korn Ferry Tour season
- Sherwood’s third and final collegiate win at Vanderbilt was a playoff victory over current PGA TOUR member Christo Lamprecht at the Ben Hogan Collegiate in October 2023
- Zac Blair’s runner-up finish helped him improve 37 spots to No. 15 on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List. It marks his best result in TOUR-sanctioned competition since he lost in a playoff at the 2024 ISCO Championship.
- Kyle Westmoreland closed with a 4-under 66 to finish third at 14 under, his best result since winning the 2025 Astara Golf Championship presented by Mastercard.
- Two players shot final-round 62s and matched the course record: Cole Hammer (T4/-13) and Alistair Docherty (T16/-9).
- Josh Teater was part of the three-way tie for the lead through 54 holes and finished T4 at 13 under.
- Third-round co-leader Carson Young, winner of the South Carolina Amateur when it was played at The Woodcreek Club in 2013, closed with an even-par 70 and finished T7 at 12 under.
- Open qualifier Jamie Wilson, an alumnus of the University of South Carolina (2016-21), closed with an even-par 70 and finished T27 at 7-under.
