The beautiful weather and fantastic competition made this one of the best Nationals ever, below are some of the highlights from the weekend. The Championship was played on the resort's Dye and Love courses, and the scores from day one provided a second day full of suspense. Miami of Ohio, Minnesota, UNCW, Georgia, and defending champion Grand Canyon all came into the final round with a chance to take the trophy. Ultimately, day one leader Golf Academy of America-Myrtle Beach was able to maintain the top spot to win the title by 10 strokes. Congrats to the guys from GAA on an incredible weekend.  ![Ian Martin Michigan](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20design%20(1)-1.png?width=800&name=Untitled%20design%20(1)-1.png) Ian Martin from University of Michigan won the Red Jacket after impressive rounds of 67 and 74. He rattled off 6 straight birdies to end his first round and take a solid lead over the rest of the field. A steady second round with few mistakes led him to the title by two over Minnesota's Ben Frazzini and Georgia's John-Michael Klopfenstein. Ian will be moving onto the varsity golf team at Michigan next semester, riding the high from his NCCGA National Championship.  ![](https://blog.nextgengolf.org/hubfs/Ian%20Martin%20Scorecard.png) [![>> National Championship Results >>](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/525111/e3558c65-97b5-46fe-947d-66c9ba16cd5a.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/525111/e3558c65-97b5-46fe-947d-66c9ba16cd5a) The University of Nebraska had a tight battle for the Invitational on Barefoot's Norman and Fazio courses, but came out on top over Robert Morris University. They held an eight shot lead after day one, and ended up holding on to win by four shots on day two.
