AWENDAW, S.C. – The NC State men’s golf team finished seventh at the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate at Bulls Bay Country Club.
The Wolfpack shot a final-round score of 24-over 312 on Tuesday and finished the 54-hole tournament at 18-over 882. The team finished ahead of ACC foes North Carolina, Wake Forest and Maryland.
Tuesday’s final round played to an average score of 77.49, nearly five and a half strokes over par, and over four shots harder than the first two rounds.
Senior Mark McMillen and sophomore All-American Albin Choi were the Pack’s top finishers at 2-over 218 – good for a tie for 12th.

Meanwhile, Choi notched his sixth-straight top-20 and 16th in 20 collegiate events.
Defending-tournament champion, and junior All-American Mitchell Sutton began the day in the top 10 with Choi but wound up tied for 25th at 6-over 222.
Senior Chad Day tied for 45th at 11-over 227, and red-shirt freshman James Chapman tied for 64th at 17-over 233.
