University of North Carolina fifth-year senior Ryan Gerard birdied the 17th and 18th holes on Sunday to win by two strokes and lead the Tar Heels to the team title at the Rod Myers Invitational hosted by Duke at the Duke University Golf Club.
It was the first career collegiate title for Gerard, who attended Ravenscoft High School in Raleigh. It was also the eighth team title in Andrew DiBitetto's five seasons as UNC's head coach.
The Tar Heels entered the third round with an eight-shot lead over NC State, but the Wofpack surged ahead midway through the round, with the Pack at 25 under and UNC two strokes behind.
