Men’s golf finishes fourth at ACC Championships

The No. 28 Virginia men’s golf team shot 11-under 853 to place fourth at this weekend’s ACC Championships. Georgia Tech won the competition, with No. 37 Clemson, No. 1 Florida State and North Carolina rounding out the top five.

Senior All-American Denny McCarthy paced the Cavaliers, shooting 2-under 70 Sunday to finish seventh overall. The performance marks the third time in McCarthy’s four years that he has earned a top-10 finish at the conference tournament. The Rockville, Maryland native shot 209 in all three of these performances.

Following McCarthy, senior Ji Soo Park shot 2-under 214 to place 14th, and junior Kyle Kochevar finished 20th with a 1-under 215. Sophomore Derek Bard posted his best single-round score of the tournament Sunday to finish at 1-over 217, good for 25th.

The Cavaliers are off indefinitely, as the NCAA selection announcements take place May 4. If Virginia is chosen, it will be its eighth consecutive appearance at the NCAA Tournament.
