TAR HEEL GOLF NOTES •CAROLINA IN THE EAST REGIONAL: This year marks Carolina’s 16th straight trip to the NCAA Regionals. The Tar Heels will be making their 14th appearance in the East Regional. Carolina’s other two appearances have been in the Central Regional (2001 and 2003). Carolina has received a bid to the NCAA Regionals each year since the regional format was instituted in 1989 and has advanced on to the NCAAs 15 times (each year except 2001). This year’s 54-hole East Regional will be played at The Course at Yale in New Haven, Conn., which features a par 70, 6,744-yard layout. Twentyseven teams and six individuals will be on hand to compete for the chance to advance on to the NCAA Championship as the top 10 teams and top two individuals not on those 10 teams earn the right to move on to the NCAAs to be played June 1-4 at the Cascades Golf Course at The Homestead in Hot Springs, Va. Carolina’s highest finish in the regionals came in 1993 and 1995 when they were runners-up. •LAST YEAR IN THE CENTRAL REGIONAL: North Carolina tied for fourth place at last year’s NCAA Central Regional played at Colbert Hills Golf Course in Manhattan, Kan. The Tar Heels posted a three-day 867 total after carding rounds of 283-295-289. Oklahoma State won the team title with an 856 total and Brett Callas of Houston claimed the individual title with a nine-under-par 207 total. Dustin Bray was the low Tar Heel, tying for 14th place with a three-under 213 total. Kevin Silva tied for 27th at even par 216 while Richard Treis tied for 43rd at 219, Jeremy Elliott tied for 48th at 220 and Ramon Bescansa tied for 85th with a 224 total. •CAROLINA IN THE NCAA: This year marks Carolina’s 34th trip to the NCAAs since 1949. The Tar Heels have carded 23 top-20 finishes and 15 top-10 finishes in NCAA competition. Carolina has had 17 players finish in the top-10 of the individual race 18 times and 30 players finish in the top-20 individually 36 times. Prior to this year, the Tar Heels made trips to the NCAAs in 1949, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1957, 1960, 1962, 1971, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. The only year the Tar Heels did not advance out of the regionals was 2001. •CAROLINA’S TWO CHAMPS: Two Tar Heels, John Inman and Harvie Ward, have won NCAA Individual Championships. On his way to the title in 1949, Ward defeated Oklahoma’s Bo Winninger, LSU’s Gardner Dickinson and Notre Dame’s Tommy Veech before dispatching Texas’ Morris Williams Jr. in the 36-hole final, five and four. Thirty-five years later in 1984, Inman captured the title with a 17-under-par score, breaking Ben Crenshaw’s NCAArecord by two strokes. That record, set at Houston’s Bear Creek Golf World, was broken in 2000 by Charles Howell of Oklahoma State who fired a 23-under-par score of 266. •CAROLINA’S DUSTIN BRAY SELECTED TO ALL-ACC TEAM: Dustin Bray, a senior from Asheboro, N.C., was selected to the 2004 All-Atlantic Coast Conference team becoming the Tar Heels’ first four-time all-conference honoree as he was also an all-conference performer in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
