A member of the Carolina men’s golf team got a come-from-behind victory over the weekend.

Carter Jenkins, who will be a junior at UNC next year, eagled the 17th hole to take the lead in the final round and held on for a come-from-behind victory in the 2015 North Carolina Amateur Golf Championship played at the Country Club of Landfall’s Jack Nicklaus Course.

Jenkins finished the four-day event at 11 under par, one shot ahead of Guilford College head coach Justin Tereshko. The win was Jenkins’ seventh Carolinas Golf Association title. He also has won two CGA Amateurs, the North Carolina Junior Amateur and a North Carolina Match Play Amateur.

The Raleigh native entered Sunday’s fourth and final round in second place, trailing Tereshko by three shots. Jenkins fired a four-under-par 68, the second-best round of the day and one of only 12 rounds Sunday played below par.

Defending champion Josh Martin of Pinehurst finished 16th. Martin will be a freshman on the UNC men’s golf and a teammate of Jenkins, next season.

Jenkins played in seven events for the Tar Heels this spring after transferring mid-year from UNCG. He finished a season-best fourth at the Lamkin San Diego Classic and was Carolina’s second-low scorer at the NCAA Chapel Hill Regional.

Jenkins will next play in the North-South Amateur on June 29-July 3 at Pinehurst No. 2.
