Host Hawaii’s Atsuya Oishi was the highest-ranked Rainbow Warrior. He finished tied for 40th place.

KAANAPALI — Clemson sophomore Andrew Swanson was brilliant during his career-best final-round 63 to win the individual crown at the Kaanapali Classic Collegiate Invitational the weekend of Oct. 29-30.

Oklahoma, ranked 11th in the country by Golfstat, built upon their second-round lead of six shots to win the program’s third team title in Maui (2015, 2019, 2022). Their 41-under total score was anchored by four Sooners who finished in the top ten: Jake Holbrook (T5), Drew Goodman (T5), Jase Summy (T5) and Stephen Campbell Jr. (T10).

“It’s always exciting to pick up a win, particularly as we finish our fall schedule,” said Oklahoma Head Men’s Golf Coach Ryan Hybl. “The last two days at Kaanapali were difficult, but the tougher it got, the tougher our guys played. Today was a great sign of who we are and what we are trying to do. As a coach, that effort is rewarding to watch.”

Clemson (-29) held strong to finish second in the team competition. Liberty came in third (-26). A four-way tie for fourth at 22-under included Colorado, Kansas (defending champion), East Tennessee St. and Louisiana.

The Buffaloes and Ragin’ Cajuns enjoyed the biggest jumps after round two. Both teams climbed four spots following final-round performances of 17-under.

Swanson was the No. 1 AJGA-ranked player in South Carolina out of high school in 2021. He is now part of an elite group, joining Lucas Glover, Kyle Stanley and Doc Redman as the only Clemson players to win in the Aloha State. All three former Tigers are now PGA Tour members.

Andrew Swanson is the fourth Clemson Tiger to win in Hawaii.

“Andrew’s victory was highlighted by just 22 putts today,” said Clemson Head Men’s Golf Coach Jordan Byrd, the brother of five-time PGA Tour winner, Jonathan. “Birdies can be made at Royal Kaanapali, but you really have to earn them. After months of working hard on his putting, I was proud to see Andrew secure this collegiate win.”

North Florida’s Nick Gabrelcik, the back-to-back ASUN Player of the Year, was unable to hold onto his two-shot lead after 36 holes, even after carding a final-round four-under 67.
