Virginia makes history with ACC Championship runaway

The Cavaliers won the first conference crown in the 12-year history of the program, and under notable circumstances.
The championship was split into two 27-hole days, a decision tournament officials made after looking at a weather forecast that showed rain headed for the Greensboro, N.C., area on Sunday. Virginia head coach Kim Lewellen said her players didn’t even notice the longer-than-normal days at Sedgfield Country Club.
