GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Clemson’s Jacob Bridgeman has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Men’s Golfer of the Month for April.
A senior from Inman, South Carolina, Bridgeman was the medalist at the ACC Men’s Golf Championship in Panama City Beach on April 22 and finished fourth at the highly-competitive Calusa Cup in Naples, Florida, earlier this month. Bridgeman is the first Clemson golfer to win the ACC Golfer of the Month award in back-to-back months.
Bridgeman made a seven-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to win the league’s individual title over North Carolina’s Peter Fountain at Shark’s Tooth Golf Course at Watersound Club. He fired rounds of 69, 66 and 68 over the three-day stroke play competition to finish 13-under-par and become the seventh player from Clemson to win the individual competition. His 69 in the opening round broke a tie for the most rounds in the 60’s in Clemson history with 47. He is also the first Clemson golfer to win three individual tournaments.
Bridgeman is second in the PGA Tour University rankings and is ninth in the World Amateur Golf rankings.
