The UNC men’s golf team opened its season with a bang this past weekend, winning the Turning Stone Tiger Intercollegiate by a whopping 35 strokes at the Turning Stone Resorts in upstate New York.
Sophomore Ryan Burnett also won the individual portion of the event for the Tar Heels with a score of 18-under-par. Burnett tied the course record in Monday’s final round by shooting an eight-under-par 64.
“I hit the ball incredibly well all tournament, missing only three greens,” Burnett said. “It definitely helped to keep the stress off and things came pretty easy. With the whole team going low, there is definitely an energy you feed off with birdies being made all over the place.”
UNC also had the second-place finisher in the individual tournament, with freshman Austin Greaser shooting a 64 on Sunday to also tie the course record. He would finish the whole three-round tournament at 11-under-par, seven strokes behind Burnett.
As a team, the Tar Heels were 42-under-par. Missouri was second at -7.
