UNCG’s Hernandez successfully defends Southern Conference title

UNC Greensboro golfer Kelvin Hernandez won medalist honors for the second straight year Thursday at the Southern Conference Championship at Solina Golf Club, a course owned by YouTube stars Wes and George Bryan near Columbia, South Carolina.

Hernandez shot 9-under-par 204 for 54 holes. The Spartans shot 9-over to finish fourth in the team standings, 14 strokes behind champion Chattanooga.

With the victory, Hernandez will move on to the NCAA Regionals, probably at Bermuda Run Country Club.
