• While NC State was well represented on the PGA tour, eight former NC State golfers played in qualifying tournaments this past month to try to earn their own tour card. Four of the eight have moved onto the second stage of qualifying, while two others just missed moving on by one stroke.
Four former NC State golfers will be moving on in the qualifying rounds. Marc Turnesa was the top finisher, as he tied for first with a 10-under 274 at Spring Creek, Florida. Garth Mulroy placed fourth over with a 8-under 280 at St. Augustine, Florida. David Sanchez finished in a tie for ninth with a 2-under 278 in Florence, South Carolina. Fernando Mechereffe was the final former NC State golfer to qualify, as he was 23rd at 5-over 293 at Treyburn Country Club in Durham.
Hank Kim and Justin Walters both just missed out from advancing by one stroke in Florence, South Carolina, as well. Each shot a 4-over 284 for the tournament, but fell just short.
Jason Moon and Chris Mundorf also competed, but did not qualify for the second stage.
• The NC State men’s golf team had a strong fall season, finishing in the top-10 in all three tournaments. The Pack also competed in the prestigious Callaway Collegiate Match Play to wrap up the fall season, and will be back on the course in February traveling to the Puerto Rico Golf Classic.

Chad Day from local Ravenscroft High School and Matt Hill from Brights Grove, Ontario, will both compete next year. Day was just named to the 12-player HP Scholastic Junior All-American Golf Team.
