East Tennessee State University Golf

TEMPE, Ariz. (May 19, 2007) – In one of the most dramatic finishes in ETSU men’s golf history, the Buccaneers spent most of Saturday’s final round at the NCAA West Regional wondering if their tournament score of 25-under-par would be enough to finish in the Top 10 and earn the program’s 16th trip to the NCAA Championships.

The Bucs ultimately finished tied for ninth along with Wake Forest and Oregon State, leaving those three teams to face off in a playoff for the two remaining spots in the NCAAs. The Bucs team of Davies, Findlay, McNamara, Shaw and freshman of the Year - our own Seamus Power posted four birdies to win the playoff outright and join Wake Forest as the final two teams to make the championship field.

The Bucs will now prepare for the NCAA Championships May 30-June 2 at the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club in Williamsburg, Va.
