ECU golfers, coach among 17 to come down with illness at NCAA women's regional

East Carolina golfers were among more than a dozen people to find an unconventional hazard during the NCAA women’s regional at the University of Texas Golf Club.

A mystery illness affecting players and coaches Monday took three of the five Pirate players out of Tuesday’s second round, the school reported, leaving the team with a “Did Not Finish” result to end the season.

Four complete rounds were required to produce a team score. Kathryn Carson and Carley Cox were the only ECU players able to compete Tuesday, according to ECU media services.

The source of the illness – widely reported as a virus that sent players and coaches to the hospital – remained unknown Thursday afternoon.
