Albany, GA – For the seventh time in ten seasons the Cape Fear Community College men's golf team has captured the Region 10 Tournament Championship.  The Sea Devils found themselves one shot back from USC Lancaster after day one, but were eager to get back to the links for round 2. 

"I think we got our butterflies out of our system and played some good golf in round 2," said Sea Devil head coach Rick Stewart.  The good golf led to a 3 over par 291, giving the Sea Devils a commanding lead heading into the final round.  On the final day, CFCC once again topped the leader board as they came in 13 shots ahead of second place USC Lancaster.  Cape Fear finished with a final score of 911, 31 strokes ahead of the closest competition.

Sophomore Tanner Pearson led the charge for the Sea Devils as he fired a 222, earning Region 10 Player of the Year honors.  Fellow teammate Matt Elliott joined Pearson on the five member All Region team, finishing the tournament at 228.  The tournament championship win advances the Sea Devils to the NJCAA National Tournament at Spirit Hollow CC in Burlington, Iowa on May 13-16.

"I am proud of the progression we have made through the season, said Stewart.  Now we will refocus our attention on the National Tournament and bringing Cape Fear home a National Title."
