MURRELLS INLET, S.C. – Playing in his third NCAA Tournament, Davidson's Jack Lang opened the 2019 Myrtle Beach Regional with a seven-over 79 Monday at TPC Myrtle Beach.
Ranked 77th Nationally according to GolfStat, Lang rolled in a 50-foot birdie putt on the Par 4 ninth hole, to make the turn in one-over 37.
The 2019 Atlantic 10 Player of the Year experienced bad luck on the very next hole, as a buried lie in the green-side bunker led to a triple-bogey seven. Lang would go on to par the next five holes before finishing with three straight bogeys.
Lang will be paired with competitors from Middle Tennessee State and Robert Morris in tomorrow's second round with tee times being announced later this evening.
In addition to leading Davidson to its first-ever Regional berth a year ago, Lang competed as a sophomore after capturing the 2017 Atlantic 10 individual title.
Lang joins Richard Fountain (2010-14) and Mike Spann (1967-69) as the only Wildcats to participate in three NCAA Tournaments.
A three-time all-conference performer, Lang led the Atlantic 10 with a 70.96 stroke average while earning Conference Player of the Year honors.
Last month, Lang was presented the 2019 Tommy Peters Award , which is given to a senior male scholar-athlete in recognition of outstanding dedication and contribution to intercollegiate athletics.
The recipient of three athletic scholarships: Dr. Tom Scott Golf Scholarship, Covington Golf Scholarship , and Southwood J. Morcott Golf Scholarship, Lang holds the school record for career Top-5 finishes with 13.
