Clemson this weekend. Unfortunately,
the "win" was only for
10th place in the Palmetto Invitational
golf tournament in Orangeburg.
The Gamecocks posted a three-day
total of 1.118 to finish 38 strokes off of
tournament victor Georgia. The
Bulldogs, who captured two of the top
three individual positions, tallied a
1,080 total to defeat runner-up North
Carolina State by three strokes. N.C.
State had carried a nine-shot advantage
over Georgia into Sunday's
18-hole finale at Orangeburg's
Hillcrest Golf Club.
Florida copped third-place honors
in the tournament with a 1,090 total,
followed by Georgia Southern (1,093),
South Florida (1,100), North Carolina
(1,101), Wake Forest (1,103)> East
