WESTON, Fla. -- Florida A&M didn't just win the 2026 Arcis HBCU Championship — the Rattlers earned it with a complete-team performance, late-round toughness, and the tournament's defining clutch moment on the playoff hole.

Team championship: FAMU answers every push

Florida A&M finished +39 (759) across three rounds to take the team title, edging Alabama State (+41, 761) in what became a wire-to-wire pressure test. The margin was only two shots, which tells the real story: every par save, every bounce-back bogey, and every steady score from the middle of the lineup mattered.

• Florida A&M: +39 (759)
• Alabama State: +41 (761)
• Alabama A&M: +50 (770)
• Southern: +59 (779)
• NCCU: +61 (781)

That final-day separation is where championships get decided. With Alabama State close enough to flip the standings with one good stretch, FAMU's ability to avoid the big number and keep stacking playable scores was the difference between first and second.

Individual title: Viboonviriyasakul wins the moment

At the top of the leaderboard, Florida A&M's Phalatphon Viboonviriyasakul delivered the weekend's headline performance, finishing +4 (184) and then winning the playoff on the first hole.
His scoring line shows why he was built for the finish:

• 74-74-36—184 (+4)
  Two steady rounds to stay in position, then a composed final round to force extra holes — and when the tournament demanded a shot, he delivered immediately.

The playoff detail matters. Playoffs don't reward "pretty" golf — they reward nerve. Viboonviriyasakul stepping in and ending it on the first hole is a program-defining moment and a separator in a field full of capable contenders.

Robinson's ceiling: a round that changed the tournament

Florida A&M also had Sascha Robinson finish T-3 at +6 (186), and his tournament included the single best round among the top finishers — a 68 in Round 2.

• 68 is a statement score in championship golf, especially in a team format.
• That round did two things for FAMU:
  1. it gave the Rattlers upward momentum when the field tightened, and
  2. it forced everyone else to chase Florida A&M rather than simply hang around.

Even with a tougher final round, Robinson's second-round surge was a major reason FAMU stayed in control of the team race.

Depth wins trophies: FAMU had scoring everywhere

Championships aren't won by one player alone — they're won when a team can post competitive scores all the way through the lineup. Florida A&M had that.
Key contributions:

• Emilio Garcia — T-9, +13 (193)
  A top-10 finisher who gave FAMU another scoring anchor and helped keep the Rattlers' team card strong.
• Miguel Illas — 18th, +19 (199)
  Another steady number that helped FAMU withstand late pressure from Alabama State.
