Host and defending champion Alabama captured the tournament with 19-under par total of 821 to finish five shots ahead of second-place Florida (826, -14).
 
"I'm really excited about the effort of Jake and Chris this week," head coach Bryant Odom said. "They both tied for 20th in a very strong field. More importantly, they have showed progress each week in the areas of their game that needed the most improvement.
 
"Jake shot the team's low round of the year with a 67 today and Chris shot par or better the last two rounds," Odom added. "I am proud of these two for their leadership and willingness to make small changes."
