The No. 7 University of Florida men's golf team fired a four-over par final round score of 288 at 2005 NCAA East Regional Golf Tournament to tie for fourth-place and advance into NCAA Championship play for the 21st time in the last 22 years.
Making their move in the second-round by firing a tournament-best 14-under par score at The Golf Club of Tennessee, the Gators solidified their fifth consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships. Florida's seven-under par total of 845 was the best three-round tournament score by the Gators this season and was their second-best team performance in relation to par.
Leading the way for the Gators was junior Matt Every (Daytona Beach, Fla.) as he fired a three-under par score of 69 to give him a career-best three-round tournament total of 203. Every's 10-under par effort was the second-best tournament performance in relation to par of his UF career.
Junior James Vargas (Miami, Fla.) closed out the three-day competition by carding a three-over par score of 75, to give him a two-under par tournament total of 211. The three-round total of 211 is the second-best tournament performance of Vargas' career.
Finishing the tournament strong, junior Brett Stegmaier (Madison, Conn.) fired a three-under par score of 69 to close out the event with an even par score of 213.
Redshirt senior Richard Treis (Baden-Baden, Germany) carded rounds of 74-70-75=219 to finish the three-day event at six-over par.
Redshirt senior Duke Butler IV (Ponte Vedra, Fla.) shot rounds of 73-74-81=228 to wrap-up the three-round tournament at 15-over par.
The seventh-ranked Gators will have some time off before traveling to the 2005 NCAA Championships at the Caves Valley Country Club in Baltimore, Md. On May 31-June 3.
