The University of North Florida men's golf season ended on Sunday with a 29th-place finish through 54 holes of the NCAA Men's Division I Championship at the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, Calif.

UNF missed the cut for the low 15 times by 30 shots in its fourth NCAA Championship appearance in the last six years.

Ilinois is the team leader at 2-under, six shots over 36-hole leader Virginia. The top eight after Monday's fourth round of stroke play advances to the match-play phase of the tournament, with defending champion Florida currently on the eighth-place bubble at 20-over.

Vanderbilt (4-over) is third, followed by Florida State (10-over), Ohio State (13-over) and North Carolina and Auburn (both at 15-over).

How close is the NCAA match play bubble?

Only seven shots separate the Gators from Tennessee and East Tennessee, who are tied for 14th. If there are ties for eighth place, they will be broken by sudden death involving all five starters from the tied teams.

Adam Wallin of Ohio State (69) has the individual lead at 5-under 211, two shots clear of Ben James of Virginia (69) and Karl Vilips of Stanford (76). FSU freshman Luke Clanton (70) is tied for seventh at 1-under.

UNF senior Nick Gabrelcik (72) is tied for 18th with Florida's Jack Turner (72).

When and where is the NCAA tournament televised?

The rest of the tournament will be televised on The Golf Channel and Peacock. Monday's air time is 6-10 p.m., Tuesday is 1-3:30 p.m. and 6-10 p.m. and Wednesday is 6-10 p.m.
