This win for the Richards Jr. is the 4th individual tournament win for the Warriors in the Spring, and the second straight for him individually. The Warriors team title is the 2nd in 4 chances this semester.
After the tournament, Head Coach Stuart Winsby was proud of his teams accomplishments, especially heading into round three.
"The Warriors overturned a 7 shot deficit after round 2 to win by 4 shots. A momentous -10 in the final round to finish at -17 for the tournament. This has smashed the scoring record to par by 12 shots which we broke in the Fall (-5). Chris goes back to back wins after he shoots 66 in round 2 and 3 to win by 2 shots over Vedant who finished 2nd on his own. Vedant would finish the tournament at -10. Chris also broke the scoring record by a Warrior at -12. Make that 4 individual wins in as many tournaments for the Warriors and the 2nd team win of the semester, they are only heating up. Every player contributed so much to the win this week and I couldn't be more proud of every one of them. The grit and grind from this team is unmatched. We will be back in action at the end of the month as we travel back north to the 2026 Roadrunner Classic"
