At MacGregor Downs, the host Wolfpack win by 12, but Pontus Nyholm of Campbell University put in a record-setting performance
Nyholm, ranked 71st in the latest WAGR rankings, fired a final round 62 to claim the individual title in the tournament, breaking the school record for lowest score to par (68-69-62—199/-17) in the process. With the victory, Nyholm earns a sponsor’s exemption into the Korn Ferry Tour’s REX Hospital Open, held June 3-6 in Raleigh.
Nyholm led the field in par-4 scoring (-12), was even on the par-4 holes and 5-under on the par fives. He made 19 birdies, second-most in the 68-golfer field. His team finished fifth in the event, 26 strokes behind ninth-ranked NC State, who claimed the team title with a score of 51-under par.
