Fayetteville State golfers win national minority tournament for 7th time

PORT ST. LUCIE, Florida -- Fayetteville State ran away with the PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship on Sunday, winning by 36 strokes at 32-over 896.  Fayetteville State's Jacob Barge was the medalist, shooting a 70 to finish at 3-under 213.

"It was great for our team to get back in the winner's circle this year," Barge said. "We haven't won since 2009, so this is really satisfying. We got the job done."

Barge is the second straight Fayetteville State golfer to win the individual title. John Michael Cole of Fayetteville won last year but has since transferred to Appalachian State.

Lincoln University of Jefferson City, Mo., was second.
