South Carolina’s Keenan Huskey shot a bogey free 7-under par in the final round to claim the individual title at the first tournament of the Spring.

Huskey won his fourth individual title with a two-shot victory at The All-American tournament played at the Golf Club of Houston.

The senior from Greenville opened the tournament with two straight rounds of 4-under par 68. He started the final round trailing Auburn golfer Jovan Rebula by two shots.

Trace Crowe, a former Easley High golfer, was tied with Huskey as his Auburn team was in control of the team championship with an eight-shot lead going into the final round.

On the last day Huskey birdied seven holes to go from two back to two up and the win.

“Pretty good week for the team overall, but I couldn’t be happier for Keenan,” said South Carolina coach Bill McDonald. “He looked focused and energized the whole tournament, and he really showed great composure down the stretch,” said the coach.

The victory was the fourth career college win for Huskey to tie with Matt NeSmith and Cal Paulson for second place among the top USC winners.

PGA Tour player Kyle Thompson has the individual record at South Carolina with five tournament wins.

The Gamecocks finished in fourth place behind the tournament champions from Auburn and Baylor and Ole Miss. The Tigers placed four golfers in the top-seven including Crowe who finished in a tie for fourth place.
