Final Team and Individual Statistics
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- USF shot a blistering 12-under 276 to jump up five spots on the leaderboard to finish sixth at the Desert Mountain Intercollegiate held on the Outlaw Course.
The Dons' 12-under 276 was the lowest round of the tournament and lowest of the day by seven strokes in the warm and breezy conditions in North Scottsdale.
Texas A&M claimed the team title with a 17-under score of 847, good for a four stroke victory over host Michigan, which finished at 851 (-13). Tennessee (856), Purdue (857) and Pepperdine (863) rounded out the top-five.
Ben Crancer of Texas A&M held off a hard charging Brian Carlson of Purdue to claim medalist honors with a winning score of 208 (-8). Crancer, who opened with scores of 69 and 67 on Saturday, shot an even par final round 72 to earn a one stroke victory over Carlson, who closed with a 65 to finish on back at 209.
Henry Chung was USF's top finisher, as the sophomore shot a final round 69 on Sunday to earn a share of fifth place at 211 (-5). The sophomore's round was highlighted by an eagle on the par-5, 613-yard 13th hole, when he made a 60-foot putt from just off the fringe. It was Chung's fourth top-10 finish of the season.
After posting rounds of 75 on Saturday, senior Sebastian Crookall-Nixon shot a final round 65 to jump 28 spots up the leaderboard into a tie for 16th place at 215 (-1). The Englishman used just 26 putts in his bogey-free round which included seven birdies.

Max Alcorn tied for 59th at 234 (+18) following a final round 77 while Jalen Griffin shot a two-under 70, but did not place on the leaderboard after an injury forced him to sit out the second round on Sunday.
