UConn's Hervol Wins at FAU Spring Championship

BOCA RATON, Fla. – UConn junior Jimmy Hervol (Hopkinton, Mass.) led wire-to-wire as he won the second tournament of his college career, shooting an impressive 15-under (64-67-70 – 201) to earn individual medalist honors at the FAU Spring Championship. The tournament concluded Sunday at the Osprey Point Golf Club in Boca Raton, Fla.

Hervol, who also won the 2016 Gimmler Invitational last year as a sophomore, shot two sub-70 rounds, upping his total in that category to a career 17, as well as 40 rounds of par or better as he topped the huge 114-player field by one stroke over Carlos Bustos of Lynn University (202). Hervol led the tournament with three eagles and topped the field in Par 4 scoring, playing those holes in 10-under. His 16 birdies tied for third-most.

Hervol's win led UConn to a second-place finish in the 19-team field, the Huskies' fourth Top Five finish of the season. UConn shot an aggregate 19-under (273-285-287 – 845), finishing behind only hometown Lynn University (826). Jacksonville State (850) finished third.

UConn's spring schedule continues on April 1-2, when the Huskies compete in the Coca-Cola Lehigh Valley Collegiate, held at Silver Creek Country Club in Hellertown, Pa.
