The North Carolina Men’s Golf Team put together another high finish to continue a strong fall run.\u00a0 This time the Tar Heels finished in second place at the Fighting Irish Classic at Notre Dame’s Warren Golf Course in South Bend, Indiana.<\/p>\n

UNC went into the final round of the 54-hole event with a one stroke lead over UCLA.\u00a0 However, the Bruins rallied on Tuesday to finish seven-under par which was three strokes ahead of the Tar Heels.\u00a0 They were the only two teams to finish in red numbers.\u00a0 Notre Dame<\/a>, Louisville<\/a>, Purdue<\/a>, Iowa<\/a>, Tennessee<\/a>, Oklahoma State<\/a>, and Indiana<\/a> were some of the other notable programs in the event.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0.<\/p>\n

Carolina was led by Carson Bertagnole who took medalist honors with rounds of 67-64-73 for a six-under score of 204.\u00a0 The Pinehurst native went into a three-way playoff with Iowa’s Maxwell Tjoa, and Lance Simpson of Tennessee.\u00a0 The freshman rolled in a 35-foot putt on the second playoff hole to win the individual title.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Steve Kirschner\u00a0of UNC’s Athletic Department, Bertagnole is the tenth Tar Heel to win medalist honors under head coach, Andrew Dibitetto.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Tar Heels’ showing in South Bend comes just one week after they finished in a four-way tie at the Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational at the legendary Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas\u00a0with the Longhorns, Vanderbilt<\/a>, and Virginia.\u00a0 The share of first place gave Coach Dibitetto his 25th team title in nine seasons at North Carolina<\/a>.\u00a0 Andrew Riley and Keaton Vo both tied for 13th place at two-over par.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

North Carolina finished second to LSU<\/a> three weeks ago at the Jackson T. Stephens Cup in Lake Bluff, Illinois.\u00a0 The match play finals between the two teams was shown on the Golf Channel.\u00a0 UNC opened the season during the first week of September with a sixth-place finish at the Sahalee Sahalee Players Championship at the Sahalee \u00a0Country Club in Washington.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
