Four PGA TOUR University players added wins to their resume last week, led by Central Florida’s Luis Carrera. The fifth-year seniorcarded a second-round 63 and won the Hartford Hawks Invitational by five strokes for his first collegiate victory. Last month, Carerra became the second Mexican golfer and first since 1979 to win the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship, and with that victory he earned an exemption into the 2023 RBC Canadian Open.
At the Bearcat Invitational at Coldstream, both the team and individual titles were decided by one stroke, with teammates Sam Jean and Ty Gingerich finishing 1-2 and leading Cincinnati to a narrow victory over UNC-Greensboro.
Also winning last week were Denver’s Carson Griggs and Southern Cal’s Jack Boulger. Griggs closed with rounds of 64-67 to win the William H. Tucker by one, while Boulger posted a 12-under total and won by six at the Husky Individual Invitational.
