PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Greyson Sigg made par on the first playoff hole to claim medalist honors at The Carmel Cup on Sunday at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
Sigg, a junior from Augusta, posted his first collegiate victory. He ended regulation tied with Hannes Ronneblad of Texas Tech and Matthias Schwab of Vanderbilt at 2-under 214. Sigg made par on the extra hole, while Ronneblad and Schwab each made bogey.
Sigg helped the Bulldogs come in second in the team race at 1-over 1,081 — six shots in back of Oklahoma State (1,075).
Junior Sepp Straka followed Sigg in 10th place at 1-over 217, while junior Jaime Lopez Rivarola and sophomore Zach Healy took 16th at 2-over 218. Redshirt freshman Jack Larkin Jr. wound up at 7-over 223 and freshman David Mackey finished at 10-over 226.
"We could not be prouder of Greyson," Georgia head coach Chris Haack said. "He's worked very hard to get to this point. He's been a very steady player for us the last couple of years, so it's nice to see him break through and get one. Our guys were pretty solid all weekend. We had a lot of positive moments and we can build on that success moving forward."
The Bulldogs will return to action Sept. 25-27 in the DICK'S Sporting Goods Collegiate Challenge Cup in Kingston Springs, Tenn.
