Defending champion Green Hope holds NCHSAA 4-A golf lead

PINEHURST - Defending team champion Morrisville Green Hope, seeking its
third consecutive state title, has an eight-shot advantage over the field after Monday¹s opening day of the 72nd annual North Carolina High School
Athletic Association state 4-A men¹s golf championships at Pinehurst No. 6.

The championship is being contested on a par-71 layout set at 6,500 yards for the NCHSAA event.

Green Hope carded a 287, eight shots ahead of Charlotte Providence, with Southern Pines Pinecrest in third at 296. Alexander Central is fourth at 305. 

The best four of six individual scores count toward the team total.

Green Hope¹s Michael Marshburn leads the individual standings after shooting a one-under-par 70 under the difficult, blustery conditions, but that is good for just a single stroke advantage over five golfers, including Green Hope teammate Michael Cromie. There are 17 golfers within five shots of the lead entering the final day of action.

Prior to 1986, all NCHSAA schools competed for a single title in an  open
tournament. Play went to three classifications in 1986 and then to four
classes beginning with the 1998 tournaments.

A total of 84 golfers began play in the two-day tournament. Action will resume at eight o¹clock on Tuesday morning.

Wendy¹s and the Carolinas Ford Dealers are the presenting sponsors of
the NCHSAA sports program.
