WILSON, NC—The St. Andrews Presbyterian College men’s golf team concluded its season with a promising fourth place finish at the NCAA D-II Atlantic Super-Regional at the Wilson Country Club firing a 302-304-606 to finish 14 shots behind the winner and host, Barton College. The Knights, who were playing in their first ever Regional, turned some heads as they finished fourth out of eight teams on the 6,774-yard par-72 track.

Monday’s first round was cancelled because of rain, shortening the event to a 36-hole sprint. The Knights sat in fifth place after Tuesday’s round and never gave up making a nice run in Wednesday’s final round jumping over Belmont Abbey and finishing only two strokes behind 19th ranked Coker for fourth place.

Barton, who is ranked 14th nationally, shot 293-299-592 to finish six shots clear of 21st ranked Pfeiffer University (299-299-598) and 12 shots up on Coker.

Josh Talton and Courtney Faircloth, who finished in a tie for first individually with Lees-McRae’s Dion Sirriani, paced the Bulldogs. All three shot even par over the two days and Talton emerged the medalist when he holed out a 15-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole.

The Knights finished with three individuals in the top 20 including Alvin Yeung and Do Ha, who each shot a five-over 149 to finish in a two-way tie for 10th. Yeung, the CVAC Freshman of the Year, shot SAPC’s lowest round of the tournament an even-par 72 on Wednesday. Graham Bell finished T-20th with a 10-over 154. Josh Boucher led St. Andrews after the first day with a 74 but posted a disappointing 81 on the second day to finish in a tie for 23rd. Sergej Dronov concluded the scoring for the Knights with a pair of 80’s.

The Knights, who were picked to finish sixth in the CVAC coaches’ pre-season poll, defeated three other conference schools including two of which were picked ahead of them. The Knights will try to build on its recent success with a young team that consists of no seniors to become a serious threat in any tournament they play in.

LAURINBURG, NC—For the first time in the Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference history the St. Andrews Presbyterian College men’s golf team has qualified for the NCAA Division II Super-Regionals to be played at the Wilson Country Club in Wilson, NC on May 3-5.

The Knights will compete against seven other teams and five individuals for the right to qualify for the NCAA D-II Men’s Golf National Championships in DeLand, FL (near Orlando) during the NCAA D-II Sports Festival.
