Davis Love III, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, PGA champion and Ryder Cup captain, is inarguably Carolina golf royalty, so when you're a college sophomore and you get mentioned in the same historical context as Love, it makes people take notice.

That's right where Peter Fountain found himself last month when he tied for first in stroke play at the 2022 Atlantic Coast Conference Championship. The second-year Tar Heel from Raleigh was medalist in the 2021 ACC Tournament and followed that winning performance with a record 13-under 203 this year to tie Clemson's Jacob Bridgeman.
