SAPPHIRE, N.C. – The Wofford College men's golf team earned its first tournament title of the 2015-16 season, winning the Hummingbird Intercollegiate with an 18-hole score of 8-under-par 276. The tournament was originally scheduled for two rounds, but Monday's second round was cancelled due to inclement weather.
 
Overnight rain showers coupled with continued rain on Monday morning and unfavorable forecasts for the mountains of southern Jackson County prompted tournament officials to cancel the final round. Wofford, the 18-hole leader, was declared the champion, claiming its second Hummingbird Intercollegiate championship after also winning back in 2013.
 
The victory is Wofford's first since the Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate last February. The Terriers have now won five tournaments in the last three years.
 
Senior Grant Waggoner and juniors Jeremy Grab and Andrew Novak all carded rounds of 3-under 68 in Sunday's round. All three tied for fifth place. The 36-hole tournament, hosted by Western Carolina, teed off Sunday morning at The Country Club of Sapphire Valley.
 
The Terriers defeated second-place Marshall by three strokes (-5). Host Western Carolina came in third (-4).
 
Wofford's fall season comes to a close with the conclusion of the tournament. The Terriers return to competitive action Feb. 22, 2016 in the Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate.
