Tar Heels Advance, Burnett Wins NCAA Salem Regional

Ryan Burnett won the individual title by two strokes and the University of North Carolina advanced to the 2023 NCAA Men's Golf Championship by finishing third in a 14-team field Wednesday in the NCAA Salem (S.C.) Regional at The Cliffs at Keowee Falls.

The Tar Heels are advancing out of regional play to the NCAA Championship for the sixth consecutive post-season (no NCAA Tournament was held in 2020 due to the pandemic). That is the fifth-longest streak in the country behind only Texas, Oklahoma, Arizona State and Vanderbilt.

Carolina shot 18-under-par 270 today to finish third at 43-under 821 behind Georgia Tech (-53) and Arkansas (-45).
