Clemson Men’s Golf wins Chapel Hill Regional
Clemson Men’s Golf was solidly above the cut line for the NCAA Championship when 3rd round play was suspended on Tuesday in the Chapel Hill Regional.
They trailed only East Tennessee State, and the top five would advance.
While many would have a ‘just hang on’ perspective, the Tigers went the opposite direction, to positive effect.
Clemson won the regional with a team score of -25, besting ETSU by one stroke on the final hole of play.
Ticket punched to California!!
