Clemson, S.C. Colby Patton and Zack Gordon were co-medalists, leading Clemson to a 16-stroke victory at the Wake Forest Invitational at Pinehurst #2 golf club in Pinehurst, NC on Tuesday. It was the first tournament victory for first-year head coach Jordan Byrd. Clemson won the tournament from wire-to-wire and had the low team score in each round, including a two-under-par 278 in the final round on Tuesday, the low team round of the tournament. “I was pleased with our performance the entire tournament,” said Byrd. “We talked about there were holes where a par, even a bogey, was a good score. That was especially the case the first day when there was a lot of wind. “Colby really drove the ball well and his high ball flight on his approaches to the green were effective. We thought Zack would do well here because he has played the course a lot and had success at the North-South. I was really proud of Carter Pendley. He really came back strong and was a big reason we won this week.�

Hilton Head native draws huge following as RBC Heritage play begins By Lyndsey Gough | April 15, 2021 at 5:18 PM EDT - Updated April 15 at 6:39 PM
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (WTOC) - An overcast day at Harbour Town Golf Links as day one of play in the RBC Heritage officially started.
One of the biggest crowds of the afternoon was for a player not even on the PGA Tour, but for Bryson Nimmer.
This RBC Heritage with limited attendance was a sell-out and that may be because Nimmer’s friends and family bought all the tickets. His dad estimated around 200 people would be out this week to support him.
