Gareth Maybin picks up his fourth individual title of the season — and school-record eighth of his career — after earning medalist honors at the Sun Belt Conference Championships.  Highlighted by a season-low 5-under-par 67 on the second day, he wins the event by one stroke with a 2-under-par 214 54-hole score while helping USA to a third-place team finish.  An honorable mention PING All-American selection at the end of the year, Maybin led the league with a 71.33 scoring average and posted seven rounds in the 60s in his final season as a Jaguar.
