Not even a week ago, we here at Tar Heel Blog wondered aloud what could be the next North Carolina Tar Heels’ athletic program to win their first national championship. Right at the top of the nominees was men’s golf. That was in large part because they were good and their NCAA Championship event was coming up.
Little did we know, they would come fairly agonizingly close to taking that chance. On Tuesday night, UNC gold made it all the way to the NCAA Championship semifinals, before falling to Georgia Tech.
The championship began on Friday, with 30 teams competing in four rounds of stroke play.
