Lee Wins Individual Medalist Title: Cobras Claim Second At SAC Men’s Golf Championship After Four-Hole Playoff
The Coker College men's golf team finished second at the SAC Championship Tournament. Wanjoo Lee won the individual title.
SALISBURY, N.C. – The Coker College men's golf team finished second at the 2017 South Atlantic Conference Men's Golf Championship Tournament, while sophomore Wanjoo Lee won the individual title.
The Cobras shot a team score of 141 in round two, which was shortened to nine holes due to heavy rainfall and severe flooding. Coker's one-over team score in round two forced a playoff with Carson-Newman University.
The playoff format consisted of all five players for each side playing the hole, with the teams combining the four-lowest scores. The two teams would play four playoff holes, with a Carson-Newman chipping in on a fourth playoff hole to win the title.
Wanjoo Lee, who shot back-to-back rounds of one-under, won the 2017 South Atlantic Conference individual title by two strokes. This is the second-straight year a Coker men's golfer won the individual title, with Will Bundy claiming the top spot in 2016. Ethan Cairns and Bundy each finished in a tie for 15th individually. Bundy shot one-under in the final round, while Cairns cared a five-over final round. Taylor Ingle and Matt Moninghoff each finished in a tie for 26th. Ingle signed off on a final round of even par, while Moninghoff shot three-over.
The Cobras will wait to see if they earn a berth into the NCAA South/Southeast Regional Championship.
