It was an unusual schedule at the NCAA Amherst Regional with inclement weather forcing an earlier start and taking four days to complete three rounds.
But that didn’t deter Vanderbilt’s Jackson Van Paris, who won the regional's individual championship. The senior ended the regional with the lowest individual score at 8-under, leading the Commodores to a second place finish and a spot in the NCAA Championship Tournament next week.
