Greenville, S.C. – The Clemson men's golf team (287-289-272=848) fired a tournament record round of 272 (-16) to clinch its second straight Furman Intercollegiate title at the par-72 Furman University Golf Club on Sunday afternoon while Purdue's William Sjaichudin (65-69-72=206) claimed individual medalist honors.
In the first round junior William Sjaichudin, from Jakarta, Indonesia, birdied nine holes to a personal-best seven-under par 65 to grab the individual lead at the par-72, 6,994-yard Furman University Golf Club on Friday.
Sjaichudin capped the tournament with a 72 to finish one stroke in front of second place Harold Varner (67-70-70=207) of East Carolina. Tied after 53 holes, Sjaichudin notched a birdie at No. 18 while Varner settled for par and second place.
Freshman Thomas Bradshaw (72-73-64=209) matched the tournament's single round record and set a new competitive record at the Furman Golf Club, renovated three years ago, by shooting an eight-under 64 to rally the Tigers from a four-stroke deficit after 36 holes to a 12-stroke victory. Bradshaw posted seven birdies and an eagle at the par five No. 15 on his way to a third place finish. Jodie Mudd (1981) of Georgia Southern and Matt Peterson (1988) of Georgia previously posted rounds of 64 in the Furman Intercollegiate.
Clemson's Crawford Reeves (73-73-68=214) and McCuen Elmore (75-72-69=216) totaled rounds of 68 and 69, respectively, to power the Tigers past second place Kennesaw State (-4) and third place Virginia Tech (-2). The Tigers' 272 was four strokes better than the previous best round of 276 set by Ohio State in 1997.
Furman's Matt Broome (-1) carded a four-under 68 on Sunday to finish 10th and help the Paladins (+9) to a fifth place finish behind East Carolina (+3). The junior totaled seven birdies, including four straight after making the turn onto the front nine. Matt Brown shot a final round 74 to finish at one-over par for the tournament while Anthony Aloi used an eagle at No. 2 to shoot 72 and finish at two-over.
