Zico Correia went eight over with an 80 in the first round, sitting in a tie for 69th. He improved by two strokes with a six over 78 to move into a tie for 64th after two rounds. For the third round, he shot a 79 to take sole possession of 65th.

In addition to Greenleaf's solo victory, the Warriors finished the Coastal Georgia Winter Invite in 3rd place, finishing ahead of SUN opponents Southeastern, Ave Maria, St. Thomas, SCAD-Savannah, and New College of Florida while sitting behind Keiser and Coastal Georgia.

After the tournament, Head Coach Stuart Winsby was ecstatic for his team after their performances.

"This week was up there with one of the most enjoyable weeks as a coach. To watch these guys perform under this pressure was a pleasure. The camaraderie of all 5 guys was fantastic and everyone was playing for each other. I am very happy with the work everyone has been putting in and we will continue to do so. Watching Tristan in the final round today was one of the most impressive displays of ball striking and mental toughness I have ever seen in my life. To hit 17 greens  in the final round when leading a golf tournament is an insane stat and ultimately deserved to win. I can't forget to give Vedant a shoutout in his title defense. He finished with another top 5 finish and continues his under par streak in tournament golf."
