PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- The University of Texas-Pan American captured the Division I standings of the 20th PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship at PGA Golf Club on Sunday, while Fayetteville (N.C.) State University took home the Division II title with a three-day total of 78-over-par 942. Lincoln University of Jefferson City, Mo., finished in second place with a team-total of 86-over-par 950, while North Carolina Central University in Durham improved from its fifth place finish last year to finish in third place overall.  The Rams of Winston-Salem State University closed out their first-ever appearance in the MGC with a sixth-place finish.

 

Junior Ian Milne of Fayetteville State came from behind and carded a final round 3-over-par 75 to win the Division II individual standings over by two strokes over teammate Derek Scott and Rodolfo Gamino of Lincoln.

 

"I played great today and knew coming down the stretch that I had a very good chance so I felt good coming in," said Milne, who won the CIAA Spring Championship in April. "I am ecstatic because both the team and I came back this year and did what we planned to do, win first place after finishing in second last year."

 

In the Women's Division, Bethune-Cookman College prevailed as the Champions over the three-time defending champion Lady Broncs from Texas-Pan American with a Championship team total of 97-over-par 961. This is BCC's fifth win in the past nine years. Hampton University in Virginia, the 1999 Champions, finished in third place.

 

Maria Dunne of Bethune-Cookman fired a final-round 7-over-par 79, which was good enough to hold onto her lead and win the Women's Division individual standings over teammate Fern Grimshaw, who began the round one-stroke out of the lead and shot a 11-over-par 83 on Sunday.

 

The Rams got another stellar performance from Joshua Vogler who turned in a total of 240 over the three days.  Vogler turned in rounds of 77, 81 and 82 on the weekend to lead WSSU.
