Ben James, Paul Chang and Bryan Lee aren’t on the bag anymore for the UVA Golf program, which is in rebuild mode for the 2026-2027 season.
The rebuild is off to a slow start, as evidenced by the 16th-place finish in an 18-team field at the season-opening 2026 Inverness Intercollegiate, which concluded on Tuesday.
Josh Duangmanee was the top finisher for the UVA team, placing 26th overall at 7-over (73-75-72, 220).
Duangmanee put forth his best effort of the three-day event with a 1-over 72 on Tuesday. He was even over his final nine holes and recorded a pair of birdies on the day.
Duangmanee had 41 pars over three days, the most of anyone in the 90-man field.
First-year Jager Pain was 9-over for the tournament and finished in 45th place. He carded a 2-over 72 in the final round and totaled a 222 (75-73-74) in his first collegiate tournament.
Pain had 40 pars, tied for the second most in the field.
First-years Mingbo Jiang and Hugo Le Goff were the other two Virginia scorers in Round 3.
Both shot a 77 (+6) on Tuesday. Jiang had seven birdies in three days, the most of anyone in the Cavalier lineup.
