PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – As the fall college golf season winds down, the top players in the PGA TOUR University Ranking are strengthening their resumes as their senior campaigns hit the midpoint.
At the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate (Oct. 24-26), Pepperdine’s Mahanth Chirravuri finished runner-up to lead the contingent of eight PGA TOUR U players who finished in the top 10. It was Chirravuri’s seventh top 10 in his last eight collegiate starts, and he’s currently No. 7 after starting the season No. 10 in the PGA TOUR U Preseason Ranking.
Ben James has topped PGA TOUR University throughout the fall, and he added to his lead with a third-place finish at Golf Club of Georgia as he led Virginia to its second straight team victory. James was one of four Cavaliers to finish in the top 10, as he was joined by No. 15 Bryan Lee (T6), No. 20 Paul Chang (T9) and freshman Michael Lee (T9).
At the Williams Cup (Oct. 19-21), Florida captured its first title of the season with a 12-stroke victory over Texas. Florida’s Parker Bell improved seven spots to No. 39 after a T12 finish, while No. 21-ranked Matthew Kress finished T17 for the Gators. For the Longhorns, No. 8-ranked Luke Potter finished sixth and No. 5-ranked Tommy Morrison finished T7.
In amateur golf, Arizona State junior Fifa Laopakdee registered the biggest win of his career, winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in a playoff. Currently ranked No. 37 in WAGR, Laopakdee has top-20 finishes in all three starts for the Sun Devils this fall, including a T6 at the Sahalee Players Championship. With the victory, he earns exemptions into the 2026 Masters and 2026 Open Championship, and those two starts will be part of his PGA TOUR University Class of 2027 record.
