Jacob Barge gives FSU golf hope at regional

HERSHEY, Pennsylvania - Fayetteville State struggled as a team in the first round of the NCAA Division II Atlantic/East Super Regional on Monday. But junior Jacob Barge provided a bright spot for the Broncos.

The Jack Britt High School alum carded a 6-over-par 77 on a chilly day with steady rain to finish the first round tied for 14th on the East Course at Hershey Country Club, playing his way into competition for an individual berth in the NCAA championship.



"I just tried to keep my head," Barge said in an FSU release. "It was really easy to lose it out here. I think I did a pretty good job of it."

Fayetteville State, which won its 26th CIAA championship last month and is making its eighth appearance at the super regional, finished the opening day alone in 13th after shooting a team total of 324. Freshman Brandon Jobe, also out of Jack Britt, shot 80. Jedidiah Frazier added an 81, while Pinecrest High School graduate Lincoln Jackson shot an 86 for the Broncos' aggregate total.
