Mebane native Nick Mathews, who plays for N.C. State, received an individual berth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Regional at UNC’s Finley Golf Course. The redshirt junior finished the regular season with a 72.34 stroke average and won N.C. State’s Stitch Invitational earlier this month.
Spencer Oxendine of Fayetteville, who edged Mathews with a 72.31 stroke average for the Wolfpack, also received an individual berth. High Point University’s Fred Roberts IV, a Georgia native, also was given one of 10 individual spots at UNC.
Host UNC is the top seed at Finley. Wake Forest is the No. 5 seed and UNC Greensboro is No. 7 at the Austin, Texas, Regional hosted by Texas.
The six 54-hole regionals are set for May 13-15. The top five teams at each regional and top individuals will advance to the championships May 23-29 at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California. After stroke play, the top eight teams will advance to match play to determine the champion.
