Round One Results

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Led by top-12 performances from Carter Page and James Chapman, the NC State men's golf team enjoyed a strong first day of action at the 2015 NCAA New Haven (Yale) Regional. Through one round of play at the Course at Yale, the Wolfpack is tied for sixth with a team score of 289 (+9).

The top five teams at each of the six NCAA Regionals will advance to the 2015 NCAA Golf Championship (May 29 -- June 3) at the Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Fla. In addition to the advancing teams, the top individual golfer not on an advancing team will move on from each NCAA Regional to the NCAA Championship. NC State is only three strokes back of the current fifth-place team, No. 20 Oklahoma State.
