PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Louisville’s Sebastian Moss moved into the top five of the PGA TOUR University Ranking for the first time this season after his victory at the Calusa Cup at Calusa Pines Golf Club in Naples, Florida. Moss' win at Calusa Pines marked his third win in 2024-25 and his fifth overall victory over the span of his career with the Cardinals.
Moss carded a bogey-free 3-under 69 in the final round of the Calusa Cup and captured his win with a birdie on the final hole of the tournament to secure a one-stroke victory. Moss' move from No. 11 to 5 this week is significant because at the end of the season, the top 10 players in the PGA TOUR University Ranking will earn Korn Ferry Tour membership, while finishers 11-25 will earn PGA TOUR Americas membership.
Also returning to the winner’s circle this week was North Carolina’s David Ford, who tightened his grip on the No. 1 spot in the ranking after his fifth win of the season at the Tar Heel Intercollegiate. Auburn’s Brendan Valdes (No. 2), Florida’s Ian Gilligan (No. 3) and Arizona State’s Jose Luis Ballester (No. 4) round out the top five.
Ford’s third consecutive victory comes on the heels of his wins at the Valspar Intercollegiate and the Augusta Haskins Award Invitational. Ford’s five individual wins this season are the most in a single season in North Carolina’s program history. Ford also tied the North Carolina program record for career wins with seven.
Conference championship play gets underway next week, with Ford and Moss competing at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship at The Club at Olde Stone in Bowling Green, Kentucky, from April 24-28.
