Bulls Win Quail Valley Collegiate Invitational



USF set new school and tournament records in its final event of the fall season on Tuesday, Oct. 24.

Shooting a school record 44-under, the Bulls ran away with a 19-shot victory at the Quail Valley Collegiate Invitational on Tuesday, which marked USF's second title win of the fall. With a tournament-record 820 team total, the Bulls also set the program's new 54-hole scoring record for a par-72 tournament.

Head coach Steve Bradley's Bulls made more school history by setting the new par-72 scoring record with a 20-under 268 in the final round at Quail Valley Golf Club.

USF dominated the competition with four Bulls placing in the top 12 on the individual leaderboard.

Claudio Correa made a run at the individual title with a 6-under 66 in the final round. The senior finished just one shot behind the lead with a 13-under 203 that placed the Santiago, Chile native second among 75 competitors.

Jimmy Jones also finished strong with a 6-under 66 that moved the senior up six spots to a tie for third at 12-under. The Tampa native leads the Bulls with six top-10 finishes since last season.

Kyle Flexsenhar posted his second top-10 finish of the season by shooting a 9-under 207 that tied the sophomore for 10th place. The Lake Mary, Fla., native carded under-par scores in all three rounds, along with Correa and Jones.

Conference player of the month Christian DiMarco shook off a slow start to place 12th at 8-under. The senior from Longwood, Fla., shot 11-under in the final two rounds after carding a 65 at the end of Monday's 36-hole action.

This marks USF's 13th title victory since Bradley took over the program prior to the 2014-15 season. Under Bradley, USF has won multiple titles in every season he's been at the helm (2, 2017-18), (2 in 2016-17), (4 in 2015-16), (5 in 2014-15).
