2021 Team Champion North Carolina State

North Carolina State took full advantage of the large lead it brought into Tuesday’s final-round play of the V1 Sports General Hackler Championship hosted by Coastal Carolina University, persevering on a tough day for scoring to win the team competition at The Dunes Golf & Beach Club by eight strokes over North Florida.

The Wolfpack was one of only three teams to finish the 54-hole competition under par, posting a final score of 12 under par. They were followed by North Florida (-4) and Louisville (-1), with North Carolina (+4) and Coastal Carolina (+7) rounding out the top five teams.

North Florida’s Nick Gabrelcik (-11) tied for the day’s low round of 69 with runner-up John Murphy of Louisville (-9) to win the Hackler’s individual title. Gabrelcik fought off a valiant effort by Hackler defending champion Zack Taylor (-8) of Coastal Carolina, whose final-round 70 earned him third place.
