Final Results

NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Led by a career-best score (207) and finish (T5th) by junior Carter Page, the NC State men's golf team narrowly missed advancing to the 2015 NCAA Championships on Saturday afternoon, tying for sixth place in a competitive field at the NCAA New Haven (Yale) Regional. Shooting a team score of 284 (+4) on the final day of the tournament, the Wolfpack missed a playoff with LSU for fifth place by one stroke.

San Diego State (-7 on Saturday), Oklahoma State (-8), Vanderbilt (-3), and LSU (-12) had strong days on their final time through the Course at Yale, passing over the Pack to claim spots 2-5. South Florida won the tournament by a comfortable 14-stroke margin over San Diego State.

NC State was seeded eighth heading into the tournament and shot a three-round score of 850 (+10). The Wolfpack finished ahead of Ohio State, North Texas, Troy, No. 29 Arkansas, College of Charleston, Robert Morris, and St. Peter's.

Super proud of @PackMensGolf on a great year!!! Guys fought hard and came up 1 shot short. A bad feeling but great learning experience.
