Fripp Island, S.C.- The Gardner-Webb men’s golf team concluded their 2024 season with an almost Cinderella ending.
After beating the No.1 seed High Point (3-1) in the semifinals of Match Play, the No. 4 seed Runnin’ Bulldogs lost a hard-fought battle to the No. 2 seed Winthrop (4-1) in the Championship Match to win the Big South Championship.
The four-day conference event was played on the Par 71, 6,526-yard course at the Ocean Creek Golf Course.
Graduate senior Max White (Tampa, FL) led the team as he won the only point for the Dawgs’ against Winthrop on the Championship Match.
Sophomore Jack Boyer (Greensboro, N.C.) lost (4&3) in the finals, meanwhile Jules Bondil (Pertuis, France) lost his match to help Winthrop clinch the Big South title.
Gardner-Webb was the No. 7 seed and posted a team score of 8-under par 276 for a two-shot lead after the first round of stroke play.
Can the Bulldogs get their happy ending this year during the 2025 Big South Championship? They will play for the title in Fripp Island, S.C., on April 21-23.
