Seniors Jason Moon and Justin Walters fired rounds of 69 and 68, respectively, in the final round of the Cleveland Golf/Augusta Invitational to lead NC State to a seventh place finish. Walters, a Ben Hogan Award candidate, tied for fourth with a 205, the third lowest tournament total in school history. Walters holds the school record with a 202 at the Nelson Invitational in the fall, and he now has four of the six best tournament totals in the Wolfpack's prestigious golf legacy. Moon tied for 42nd with a 216, even par for the course.
Stephen Lewton fired his second 70 in as many days to finish tied for 28th with a 213. Fernando Mechereffe carded a 75 to finish five-over-par at 221 and in t67th. Sophomore Rodney Thomas, who played his first tournament since breaking his arm, finished t75th with a 224.
NC State returns to the course to co-host the 2003 Intercollegiate, to be held at the Raleigh Country Club, April 12-13.
