DAVIDSON, N.C. – Davidson's Richard Fountain has received an at-large selection to compete in the 2013 NCAA Golf Regional in Tallahassee, Fla., May 16-18 at Golden Eagle Golf & Country Club, as announced Monday evening.
“I'm very excited that Richard received an at-large bid to the NCAA Regional,” commented head coach Tim Straub. “He played consistently terrific golf all year and is very deserving of this honor.”
Fountain will be making his second NCAA Regional appearance as the Raleigh native competed in the 2011 NCAA Tournament after capturing the Southern Conference individual crown as a freshman.
“I think the experience of playing in the NCAA Tournament two years ago will give him an edge this year,” commented Straub.
For his career, Fountain holds a 73.70 stroke average, while recording two individual titles, eight top-five finishes and 12 top-10 showings.
After becoming the first Wildcat to earn an NCAA selection in 38 years, Fountain finished tied for 35th with a 54-hole total of 226 (+10) two years ago at The Pete Dye River Course of Virginia Tech. Prior to his final round 81, he was tied for fourth entering the last day of competition.
As a team, Davidson concluded the season with a second place finish at the 2013 SoCon Championship. In addition to their highest showing in 40 years, the Wildcats recorded a pair of team titles this season.
The NCAA Division I Men's Golf Regional is a preliminary round of the NCAA Division I Men's Championship. The Tallahassee Regional will consist of a 54-hole tournament with 13 teams and 10 individual players. The low five teams and low individual not included on those five teams will advance to the NCAA Championship that runs May 28-June 2 at Capital City Club Crabapple Course in Atlanta, Ga.
