Rubinson topped the 13th-rated Frogs lineup with a 36-hole total of 145. His one-over-par score was five strokes behind the individual champion, Bryce Molder of Georgia Tech, and was just two shots shy of third place. In Tuesday's final round, Rubinson fired an even-par 72, which tied for the fifth-lowest score of the day. It was Rubinson's second top-10 finish and third top-20 finish.
The 16-team NCAA Preview field included each of the top 10 teams ranked in the preseason Mastercard Collegiate Golf Rankings and 14 of the poll's top 20. Individually, 20 of Golf World's 25 rated players in the country participated.
Second-ranked Georgia (583) won the team competition, sliding past No. 19 BYU (587), No. 1 Clemson (588), No. 9 Texas (590), No. 10 Northwestern (590), No. 6 Arizona and No. 18 Auburn (590).

Due to inclement weather, second-round play was suspended late Monday afternoon and the tournament was shortened to 36 holes. The two-day event, which was scheduled as a 54-hole outing, took place at the 7,054-yard, par-72 Duke University Golf Club, the site of the NCAA Men's Golf Championship in the spring of 2001.
