April 20, 2009

David May, Golf, Senior, Auburn, NY

May fired a final round 66 to win co-medalist honors at the 2009 ACC Golf Tournament at The Old North State Club at Uwharrie Point in New London, NC. May’s 66 was the best final round by an individual at the ACC Tournament in Clemson golf history. The previous best was a 67 by Stephen Poole at The Old North State Club in 2006.

May tied for first in the individual race with NC State’s Matt Hill at 10 under par 206. The Clemson senior made up four shots in the final round with his six under par 66, his top round of the year and his best round since he had a 65 in the second round of the ACC Tournament at The Old North State Club on April 22, 2006.

May joins Parker Moore (1976), Kevin Johnson (1988), Danny Ellis (1992), Charles Warren (1997 and 1998) and John Engler (2001) as Clemson golfers who have won the ACC Tournament. May played the par four holes at eight under par, best in the field and he also led the tournament in birdies with 17.
