USC Upstate golfers have been making some headlines this spring. Both the men’s and women’s teams have produced individual winners, while the Spartan women’s team has been a fixture in the top-10 at their events.

Hunter Fry brought home a championship when he claimed medalist honors at the Seahawk Intercollegiate played at the River Landing Golf Club in Wallace, NC.

Fry opened the tournament trailing Blake McShea of Wilmington by 4 shots. In the second round Fry cut McShea’s lead to 2 shots going into the final round by shooting a 6-under par 66.

The shot gun start format for the final round did not put the two leaders head to head.

McShea fell behind early in his round, but teammate Drew Hackett picked up his pace to challenge Fry for the lead.

He never was able to catch the Upstate senior.

Fry carded an eagle and two birdies including one on his 17th hole to finish at 1-under par 71.

Hackett made it close when he eagled his 17th hole to pull within 2-shots of Fry.

The victory was the first college win for the Upstate golfer from Dacala, Georgia.
