Clemson golfer wins individual national championship

Clemson golfer Turk Pettit won the 2021 NCAA men’s national championship with a four-round seven-under-par at the NCAA National Tournament at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Pettit shot a 70 in his final round Monday to earn Clemson’s first national championship since Charles Warren won it all in 1997. Before Sunday, Warren was the only Clemson golfer in history to win the tournament. He also finished second in 1998, his senior year, when he won the Dave Williams Award as the outstanding senior golfer in the nation.

Oklahoma State’s Bo Jin finished second in the tournament.
