PARRIS ISLAND, S.C. – The No. 2-ranked Georgia Southwestern State University men's golf team closed its fall season in commanding fashion Tuesday, cruising to a 35-stroke victory at the Parris Island Legends Collegiate, co-hosted by GSW and USC Beaufort at The Legends at Parris Island.

The Hurricanes finished at 26-under-par 838 (281-277-280), sweeping the top three individual positions and placing four golfers among the top five to secure their fourth team tournament championship of the calendar year.

GSW established control early, building a 27-stroke lead through Monday's opening two rounds before extending its advantage to 35 strokes with an 8-under 280 in Tuesday's final round. The Hurricanes finished 35 shots ahead of No. 31 USC Beaufort, which placed second at 9-over 873 (293-292-288). Ferris State finished third at 16-over 880, followed by Delta State at 21-over 885.

The Hurricanes were particularly dominant on the par 4s and par 5s, outperforming the next-closest team by 24 strokes and 13 strokes, respectively.

Nationally ranked golfers Juan Velásquez, Jordan Jones and Sam Brown led GSW's sweep of the individual podium, finishing first, second and third, respectively, in the 60-player field.

No. 18 Velásquez captured medalist honors at 11-under 205 with rounds of 68, 68 and 69. The junior opened with consecutive 4-under rounds before closing with a 3-under 69. Velásquez tied for the tournament lead with 15 birdies and topped the field in par-4 scoring, playing those holes at 8-under with a 3.73 average.

Velásquez, who earned Peach Belt Conference Golfer of the Week honors earlier this fall, gave GSW individual medalists in each of its final two fall tournaments. The Hurricanes have produced five individual tournament winners in 2026, dating back to the spring season.

No. 8 Jones continued his impressive fall campaign with a runner-up finish at 9-under 207 (69-68-70), two strokes behind Velásquez. The junior followed an opening-round 69 with a bogey-free 68 in the second round before closing with a 2-under 70. Jones, who won the Hurricane Invitational earlier this month, finished first or second in each of GSW's final two fall tournaments.

No. 5 Brown completed the Hurricanes' sweep of the top three individual positions, finishing third at 6-under 210 (70-69-71). Brown collected 14 birdies over 54 holes, tied for third in par-5 scoring at 6-under and closed with three birdies on the back nine Tuesday to finish with a 1-under 71.

Stefan Rojas gave the Hurricanes a fourth top-five finisher, tying for fifth at 1-over 217 (75-72-70). After opening with a 75, Rojas improved in each successive round, closing with a 2-under 70 that featured an eagle on the par-5 13th hole. He added three birdies during the final round, including one on the closing hole, and tied Brown for third in par-5 scoring at 6-under.

No. 13 Sacha Corlouer rounded out the Hurricanes' lineup tied for 12th at 3-over 219 (74-74-71). After posting consecutive rounds of 74 on Monday, Corlouer closed with a 1-under 71 on Tuesday, recording six birdies, including three over his opening seven holes.

Three additional Hurricanes competed as individuals. Luis Eboli and Milo Thim tied for 23rd at 7-over 223, with Eboli posting rounds of 75, 71 and 77 and Thim carding a 72, 77 and 74. Elias Järn tied for 34th at 11-over 227 (74-74-79). Their scores did not count toward GSW's team total.
