RALEIGH, N.C. — The High Point University men's golf team sent four individuals to the Coach Sykes Individual at the Lonnie Pool Golf Course in Raleigh, N.C. The Panthers completed 36 holes on Saturday, while the second day of the tournament on Sunday was cancelled due to inclement weather.
Head Coach Logan Davis: "It was good to have some of the team get extra and early reps in this spring. Unfortunately, the tournament was cut short due to weather. The course was playing difficult and long due to the rain and cold temperatures. Everyone had lots of positives to take away from this event."
