Gamecocks Back At It Sunday in Myrtle Beach

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. — South Carolina will seek to win its second straight tournament starting Sunday at the General Hackler Championship. The Gamecocks won the Palmetto Intercollegiate on Tuesday as All-American Ryan Hall earned medalist honors.
 
The Knoxville, Tenn., native was named SEC Golfer of the Week for the performance, tallying his fourth career victory (T-2^nd most in program history). Hall is the top player in the lineup again this week.
 
He’s joined by the same four players in the lineup from Palmetto Golf Club in junior Jack Wall, sophomore Rafe Reynolds, senior transfer Evans Lewis and freshman Nathan Franks. Freshman Gene Zeigler will compete as an individual.
 
The only golf course in Myrtle Beach with ocean views and a timeless design by famed architect, Robert Trent Jones, Dunes Golf & Beach Club stands as a “Top 100 Golf Course” in virtually every major magazine ranking. The club has played host to numerous PGA TOUR, PGA TOUR Champions, LPGA, amateur, national, and state events.
 
It’s a strong field this week with nine of the 15 teams ranked in the top-50 of the latest Golfstat Team Rankings, including No. 2 Oklahoma State and No. 18 Auburn.

The Gamecocks will be paired with the Cowboys and host Coastal Carolina for the first 36 holes tomorrow. Franks will lead things off at 8:25 a.m. (ET) on hole one.
