From the start of the season in the fall, the main goal for the College of Charleston men’s golf team was to get back to NCAA Regionals.
College of Charleston men’s golf team is going to the NCAA Tournament.
Mission accomplished.
Over the weekend, College of Charleston led wire-to-wire to win the CAA Men’s Golf Championship held at the Founders Club at St. James Plantation in Southport, N.C., firing a three-round score of 293-293-287—873 (+9) – 20 strokes better than runner-ups William & Mary and James Madison.
Leading the way was reigning CAA Player of the Year John Jonas (Jacksonville, Fla.), who shot a 1-under par 215 (70-72-73) to earn individual medalist honors. He became just the fourth all-time player in school history to win a conference individual title next to junior teammate Josh Lorenzetti (2013), Daniel Brunson (2002) and Bruce McDonald (2003).
College of Charleston has now won conference titles in men’s golf on three occasions next to 2002 (SoCon) and 2014 and 2015 (CAA). This will be the program’s fifth all-time NCAA appearance.
The Cougars will learn of their postseason-regional site assignment as the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship will be announced via The Golf Channel on Monday, May 4 at 10 a.m. (ET) during its Morning Drive show. Regionals will be held on May 14-16 at six site locations across the country including Noblesville, Ind. (Ball State), Chapel Hill, N.C. (North Carolina), San Diego, Calif. (San Diego), Lubbock, Texas (Texas Tech), Bremerton, Wash. (Washington) and New Haven, Conn. (Yale).
