WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. – Austin Krahn closed with three birdies during his final 10 holes to fend off several contenders from SEC programs to win medalist honors at the 2026 Bryan Bros Collegiate on Tuesday.
Krahn fired a winning score of 9-under par 204 (65-70-69) after three trips around the Solina Golf Course (par 71, 6,888 yards).
The freshman finished one shot clear of Ole Miss' Collins Trolio (69-67-69) and Arkansas' Erich Fortlage (70-67-68), who shared second place with an 8-under par 205. South Carolina's Bo Carpenter finished in fourth place with a 7-under par 206 (67-68-71).
Krahn is the second Flame to win individual medalist honors this fall, giving Liberty 39 individual collegiate medalist award winners at the NCAA Division I level.
Junior Michael Lugiano shared first place at Liberty's last event – Bearcat Invitational – while helping the Flames capture the team title at the Cincinnati-hosted event.
Krahn's first collegiate victory allowed Liberty to finish in third place in the 16-team field with a score of 835 (272-283-280).
The team title was a three-team race during the final round on Tuesday with only two shots separating Ole Miss, Arkansas and Liberty at the end of the South Carolina-hosted event.
Ole Miss used seven birdies during the final five holes to claim the team title with a winning score of 19-under par 833 (277-278-278).
Arkansas, who closed the tournament with a 10-under par 274 final round, finished one shot behind them with an overall 18-under par 834 (284-276-274).
Four of Liberty's starting five golfers finished the tournament inside the top 20 in the 91-man field.
Following Krahn's winning ways was Silas Haarer, who finished tied for seventh place with a 5-under par 208 (69-71-68).
Luke Libbey followed by finishing tied for 18th place with a 1-under par 212 (70-71-71), while Noah Maclauchlan finished tied for 20th place with an even par 213 (68-71-74).
