The North Carolina Tar Heels are Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Golf Champions once again.
They defeated Florida State 3-1-1 in the final match of the ACC championships at Charlotte Country Club in Charlotte, N.C. to win the conference championship for the first time since 2006.
After earning the top seed for match play, North Carolina defeated No. 4 Wake Forest 3-2-0 in the semifinals, while No. 2 seed Florida State defeated No. 3 seed Georgia Tech 3-0-0.
In the final match, Austin Greaser, David Ford, and Peter Fountain all won their respective matches to give North Carolina the win. Ford made a 25-foot birdie on No. 17 to secure his point and the winning third point. Maxwell Ford and Dylan Menante earned points in the semifinal matches to give all five Tar Heels points. Greaser went 2-0.
The title is the first for seventh-year head coach Andrew DiBitetto and the seventh this season for UNC, which matches the school record set in 1982-83.
This is Carolina's 12th ACC men's golf championship. The Tar Heels previously won in 1956, 1960, 1965, 1977, 1981, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1995, 1996 and 2006.

Brennan and Kjettrup both finished 7-under to force a playoff. After paring No. 18 five times, they were declared co-champions.
