Reinhardt won the men’s team title at the 2026 Appalachian Athletic Conference Direct Qualifier, finishing at 18-over across 54 holes on April 20-21 at Barnsley Inn & Golf in Adairsville, Ga. Milligan placed second at 52-over, followed by Truett McConnell at 58-over and Tennessee Wesleyan at 59-over in the three-round event hosted.
The individual race ended in a three-way tie at 2-over between Reinhardt’s Pride Dyer and Griffin Latimer and Milligan’s Francisco DeBethencourt. Latimer set an early tone with a 2-under opening round, moving into a share of the top of the leaderboard in Round 1. Dyer then stayed in the hunt with a 4-over second round, matching Latimer’s Round 2 score and keeping Reinhardt in position entering the final 18 holes.
The final round settled both championship races. Dyer posted a 3-under Round 3, one of the strongest closing scores in the field, to reach 2-over for the tournament. Latimer followed an opening-round 2-under with an even-par final round to finish alongside him at 2-over, while DeBethencourt closed with a 1-over round after earlier scores of even par and 1-over to complete the three-way tie.
Reinhardt’s depth separated it from the rest of the field. The Eagles opened at 4-over, absorbed a 13-over second round, and then answered with a 1-over team score in Round 3 to finish at 18-over, comfortably ahead of Milligan. Milligan made its biggest move in the second round, shooting 5-over as a team, but a 26-over finish left the Buffaloes 34 shots back of the lead.
Several other individual performances shaped the leaderboard. Reinhardt’s Zane May finished at 4-over after rounds of 2-over, 3-over, and 1-under, giving the champions another high finish near the top. Johnson University’s Dean Knight also ended at 4-over and matched Dyer for one of the best final rounds among the listed leaders with a 3-under closing score after opening rounds of 1-over and 6-over.
Behind the top four teams, Columbia International finished fifth at 75-over, Johnson University was sixth at 78-over, and Montreat took seventh at 85-over. Columbia followed at 86-over, with SCAD Atlanta at 87-over and Spartanburg Methodist at 88-over to round out the top 10.
