ALPHARETTA, Ga. – In a field that featured nine top-30 programs and four of the nation's top-five ranked golfers, Duke junior Bryan Kim captured individual medalist honors as the No. 29 Blue Devils earned their second consecutive runner-up finish of the season at the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate on Sunday at the Lakeside Course.
Duke finished with a 9-under-par team total of 855 (277-283-295), edging No. 26 USC (857) for second place and topping No. 14 Pepperdine and No. 18 Georgia Tech (both at 859). Top-ranked Virginia won the event with a 24-under 840.
Kim, a native of Brookeville, Maryland, carded rounds of 65, 69 and 71 for an 11-under 205 to secure his second individual title of the fall season. He clinched the victory with back-to-back birdies over his final two holes to finish two strokes clear of Pepperdine's Mahanth Chirravuri and three ahead of Virginia's Ben James, the No. 1-ranked collegiate golfer in the country.
