He totaled 214 strokes on the weekend with rounds of 71-73-70 to score the one shot victory. His score led the ninth ranked Tars to a second place finish in the competition. On the season, he has played 12 rounds and carries a 74.5 stroke average, second best on the team. Walters has come in with rounds of 73 or better on six occasions and has twice been under par this season.

He had at least two hits in each of the Tars four games and also threw out three attempted base stealers. The big week moved his team leading batting average to .430, which is also third best in the Sunshine State Conference.
