Wake Forest Sweeps the Team and Individual Titles at the 2022 Darius Rucker Intercollegiate

Hilton Head Island, S.C. – The 10th annual Darius Rucker Intercollegiate took place at Long Cove Club, February 28-March 2, 2022. This year's DRI made history becoming the first all-women regular season collegiate event to be aired by the Golf Channel. The network carried live coverage every day from 2:30-5:30 p.m. (ET), airing reruns as well for a grand total of 21 hours of coverage.

No. 5 Wake Forest swept the team and individual titles for the second consecutive year. The Demon Deacons shot 290 (+6) in the final round to post a 54-hole total of 861 (+9) to win by nine over the Gamecocks. Wake Forest's Carolina Lopez-Chacarra shot 69 (-2) for the second consecutive day to win by two over Texas' Bohyun Park. Lopez-Charcarra posted a 54-hole total of 209 (-4). She had a stretch on the front nine in the final round where she made five birdies in six holes.

The Demon Deacons jumped into the lead during the second round by six shots over No. 13 Arizona State after shooting the round of the tournament with a 4-under 280. It was the lowest second round team score in tournament history, surpassing Florida State in 2019.

No. 4 South Carolina finished emphatically at the 10th Darius Rucker Intercollegiate on Wednesday, shooting a field-best score of 283 (-1) to finish second. The Gamecocks were the only team in the field to post a red number in the final round.

"Incredible resiliency coming from last to a runner-up finish - I'm really proud of this group," said South Carolina head coach Kalen Anderson. "This is who we are and this is the Gamecock golf we play. We had a really off day the first day. We played really committed golf. We really finished strong going 1-under in the last 36 holes. What a platform for women's golf. This is something that's really special to my heart."

 Scoring was challenging all week as just five players in the field shot par or better.
