The second-ranked UVA Golf team finished in a tie for second at The Invitational at The Honors Course, which featured a field that included seven teams ranked in the College Golf Coaches Association of America preseason Top 25, and four teams that appeared in the 2025 NCAA Championship Match Play.
UVA senior Ben James finished T-3rd at 5-under for the tournament, one stroke back of co-medalists, Cameron Tankersley (Ole Miss) and Josiah Gilbert (Auburn) on the individual leaderboard.
Gilbert notched a birdie on his final hole of the day to move into a tie with Tankersley.
Ole Miss took home the team championship, finishing five strokes ahead of Virginia and Auburn.
James played a relatively clean final round with one bogey and three birdies on his card.
The Top 10 finish is the 26th of his career, already the most of any Cavalier in program history.
Senior Bryan Lee shot a final-round, 72 and finished T-8th at 2-under to record his 13th top 10 finish of his collegiate career.
Virginia, Ole Miss, Auburn and Pepperdine were the only schools to have two Top 10 finishers.
Paul Chang put together a steady three days and closed with a 1-over 73 on Tuesday. He shot an opening round 74 and fired a 2-under, 70 on his second round Monday afternoon. The graduate student finished T-15th.
