UNC men’s golf team honored Saturday at Kenan Stadium

The UNC men’s golf team was honored for its historic 2022 campaign during Saturday’s UNC-App State football matchup.

There’s a lot of dominant athletic programs at UNC – men’s basketball, field hockey and women’s soccer, to name a few.

You can go ahead and add men’s golf to that list.

The Tar Heels’ 2022 season was their best finish in the NCAA Tournament since 1993 (tied for third). They won individual stroke play in the same tournament, saw five players win regular-season titles and four (David Ford, Ryan Burnett, Austin Greaser, Dylan Menante) capture All-America and All-ACC honors.

For team efforts on the links, UNC was recognized during Saturday night’s football game against App State.

Carolina begins its men’s golf season on Friday, Sept. 15, heading out west to Illinois for the Olympia Fields/Fighting Illini Invitation. The highlight of Carolina’s season, however, is when it heads to Scotland next month for the inaugural St. Andrews Links Collegiate Tournament.

UNC has enjoyed past success at St. Andrews, host of the world’s oldest golf tournament (The Open), winning the 2006 International Collegiate Tournament and also playing there in 2002 and 2010.

Between now and then, though, Carolina will play tournaments in Texas and Wilmington, N.C.
