Men's Golf

Jennifer Kupcho won the first women's golf event of the Fall Season by a massive margin 7 - strokes. She is awesome.

BTW, the ladies golf team landed two transfers that are apparently eligible to play immediately. One was the #1 player at Illinois, the other played at Auburn.

Here is the link about Kupcho's win: http://www.wakeforestsports.com/sports/w-golf/recaps/090517aaa.html

Also, the men's golf team includes freshman from Toyko (played HS golf in Hawaii; state champion) and South Africa (#1 amateur in that country).

lol we got 1st, and two 8th place finishes and got 3rd overall. That's hard to do.

Zalatoris is turning pro.

That seems like an odd decision given he should only have 1 more semester to complete his degree. Is there a golf related reason that would push him to make that decision now?
 
Is there a benefit to having a full year of tournaments to help him qualify? Congrats to him. Looking forward to having another guy to pull for on tour.
 
He should have at least stayed in school, played in the Collegiate event at Riviera pairing up with Bill or Webb and turn pro if he won and got into the event.

My only guess is he has some sponsor invites lined up. Otherwise this makes zero sense.

Agree, but even then, a risky proposition. Unless the rules have changed, a non-tour player is limited to 7 sponsor exemptions per year, and each PGA tournament (Majors and PGA playoff events have their own rules, but Zalatoris is not getting an invite to a Major or a PGA playoff event) can only give 8 sponsor exemptions per tournament, and 4 of those are reserved for either web.com players or PGA tour players that didn't make it into the event. So, given each tournament's limited ability to offer exempt spots to non PGA tour players, there may be two or at most three PGA events that would give Zalatoris a sponsor exemption, but I don't see tour events going out of their way to try to get him in their field. Zalatoris is a very strong player, but it's not like he is the reigning US Am, NCAA or even ACC Champ.

Unless he kills it in the couple of tournaments that he is exempted into, he is not going to be playing a lot of tournament golf (other than USGA and local pro events) this year.
