South Carolina rallied from a tie for 11th after the opening round to share the Fallen Oak Collegiate Invitational title with No. 1 Arkansas and No. 12 Illinois. The Gamecocks posted the tournament’s lowest scores in each of the final two rounds, led by freshman Tom De Herrypon’s career-best 66 in the final round. Talan Harrison and De Herrypon tied for fourth, earning the first career top-five finishes for both.

By the Numbers
  • South Carolina finished the final two rounds at 3-under and 4-under.
  • De Herrypon shot a career-low 66; Harrison finished at 2-under for the tournament.
  • The Gamecocks earned their second team victory of the fall and the third under coach Rob Bradley.
  • 11 of the 15 teams in the field were ranked in the top 50.
Yes, But

South Carolina shared the title rather than winning outright, finishing level with two highly ranked teams. The comeback was powered by standout rounds from freshmen, while Harrison supplied steady scoring throughout.

What's Next

The Gamecocks head into their offseason and are scheduled to return in mid-February at the Dominican Republic Classic.

Bottom Line

A dramatic final-two-round surge delivered South Carolina a share of a title in a deep field—and gives the team momentum heading into the break.
