Jimmy Stanger wins ACC Golf Championship with dramatic playoff putt

It wasn't the ACC Championships that the Virginia Cavaliers wanted coming into the week, but the Hoos’ Jimmy Stanger outlasted all the other participants to take the ACC men’s golf individual championship. The senior posted a six-under total over the three-day tournament and won a four-way playoff with a birdie at the 18th on the first playoff hole.

Saturday’s final round didn't start out how Stanger would have hoped. After a bogey at the tenth (his first hole of the final round) and a double-bogey at the 12th, the senior faced an uphill battle. But a three-hole stretch of birdie, eagle, birdie got Stanger right back in the mix.
