May tied for first in the individual race with N.C. State’s Matt Hill at 10 under par 206. He made up four shots in the final round with his six under par 66, his top round of the year and his best round since he had a 65 in the second round of the ACC Tournament at The Old North State Club on April 22, 2006. May’s round on Sunday included eight birdies and two bogeys. He had seven birdies in an eight-hole stretch between the fourth and 11th holes to get to seven under par for the day and 11 under par for the tournament. He hit a wedge to within a foot on the par five 11th hole to give him his eighth birdie of the day. He could have won the tournament outright with a birdie on the par five final hole, but his approach shot was 25 feet short and he two putted for the co-championship.
