AUSTIN, Texas – Despite a valiant push up the leaderboard early in Wednesday's final round that saw the team within one stroke of fourth place, the NC State men's golf team ultimately placed seventh at the 2017 NCAA Austin Regional. NC State shot its best round of the tournament during its final time through The University of Texas Golf Club, carding a combined 277 (-7) to finish with a three-round score of 864 (+12) and five strokes out of the fifth-place finish required to advance to the NCAA National Championships.
Â
Freshman Benjamin Shipp (67, -4), sophomore Stephen Franken (68, -3), and senior Jacob McBride (69, -2) led the Wolfpack on the final day of action. McBride finished the tournament tied for 10th place at 211 total strokes (-2) while Shipp was not far behind, tying for 20th with his 215 (+2). McBride finished just one stroke away from forcing a playoff with Wake Forest's Will Zalatoris for the Austin Regional's lone individual spot awarded to the lowest-scoring player on a non-advancing team. The senior concludes his Wolfpack career with 39 tournaments played, 111 total rounds completed, 11 top-10 finishes, and 15 top-20 finishes.
The tournament was also the last in the illustrious 46-year career of 2001 Golf Coaches Hall of Fame inductee and 2017 Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year Richard Sykes. The five-time ACC Coach of the Year enters retirement with 53 team tournament titles, 48 All-ACC selections, 34 All-Americans, 24 NCAA Regional appearances, 12 NCAA Championships appearances, six ACC individual champions, three ACC Rookies of the Year, two ACC Players of the Year, and one individual national champion.
Â
No. 3 Oklahoma State (839, -13) earned top honors at the tournament. No. 16 and host Texas (841, -11) finished second while Iowa State (845, -7) shot 21 strokes below par Wednesday to grab third place. No. 22 Ole Miss (854, +2) and Arizona State (859, +7) claimed the fourth and fifth spots, respectively.
