The University of Florida men’s golf team saw a trio of golfers, T.J. Vogel (Cooper City, Fla.), Tyler McCumber (Ponte Vedra, Fla.) and J.D. Tomlinson (Gainesville, Fla.), take home honors from the Southeastern Conference.

Additionally, McCumber has finished in the top-20 of all but three tournaments, including five top-10s and three top-5s.  

Tomlinson has come on strong at the end of the regular season for the Gators posting top-20 finishes in his four of his past five events, including a pair of top-10s. During his solid spring, Tomlinson has a stroke average of 72 and has all but two rounds count towards the team’s score.
