South Carolina claims 2019 Hootie title (The fourth win in five years)

After a record three straight victories, the South Carolina Gamecocks had their winning streak stopped by the University of Mississippi in last year’s Hootie at Bulls Bay Collegiate Invitational. And entering the final round of this year’s tournament, Coach Bill McDonald’s charges found themselves looking up at two teams in their quest to get back in the winners’ circle.

But over those final 18 holes, the Gamecocks caught “fire” to pass both the College of Charleston and Kent State and win their fourth Hootie title in five years. Shooting 11-under-par 277, South Carolina came from three shots back to score a seven-shot victory in the 15th annual Hootie at Bulls Bay, a 54-hole tournament that attracts 15 teams from across the country.

“They came out on fire to start the round today,” McDonald said of his Gamecocks, who were playing their third tournament in three weeks. “I was a little concerned about them to be honest with you. It’s been an awful lot of golf for us over the last couple of weeks.”

But McDonald’s worries quickly subsided. Entering the final round three shots behind Charleston and one behind Kent State, the Gamecocks ripped through Bulls Bay’s front nine, making up 10 shots on the field to take a seven-shot lead at the turn. On the front side, the five USC players had just one bogey between them and the four players whose scores would eventually count – college tournaments score four of five players in each round – were a collective 12 under par for the opening nine.

“The guys showed up this morning and really played a great front nine,” McDonald added. “…  It’s been an amazing couple of weeks. These guys have played some incredible golf, and it’s been fun to watch as their coach.”

The Gamecocks came into the 15th Hootie looking for their second victory in their fourth event of the spring season. Two weeks before coming to Bulls Bay, they won the Cleveland Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate in Aiken. And in between the two events, they finished third at the Valspar College Invitational in Florida.

In its latest victory, South Carolina was led junior Jamie Wilson, a local Mount Pleasant and Bishop England product who shot nine-under 209 to finish third in the individual scoring. Senior Ryan Stachler tied for eighth at 212, with junior Caleb Proveaux a shot back in a tie for 13th. Will Miles, who holed out from 200 yards for eagle at the par-4 16th in the final round, and Scott Stevens were part of a six-way tie for 16th at two-under 214, as all five Gamecocks finished in red numbers.

Charlie Hillier of Kansas took individual honors, shooting 67-67-69—203, 13 under par. Missouri’s Rory Franssen was second with his 10-under 206. Hillier’s 203 total matched the tournament’s individual scoring record, set just last year by Braden Thornberry of Ole Miss. (Tournament records do not recognize scoring from 2006-2009, when Bulls Bay played as a par-71 course with the fourth hole playing as a par-4.)

Before the Hootie teed off, two team events gave sponsors their shot at the Bulls Bay course. In the four-man tournament for sponsors alone, tagged The Blowfish, Keith Roberts, Donnie Frazzitta, Man Christan and Casey Seitz teamed up for the victory. Doug McFarland, Mark McFarland, Ray Dlugos and Jack Dlugos took second with Leo Leitner, Deno Hloros, Mike Carmody and Rusty  Guy taking third.

In the Noonan, a five-man event that pairs a college player with four sponsors, Thomas Walsh from the University of Virginia teamed with Brad DeBartolo, Brian Spivey, Buck Jones and Ashby Lincoln to best the field. Charleston’s Hunter Dunagan, along with Greg Conde, Patrick Hunt, Steve Cruea and Michael Conde, was second, while fellow Cougar Logan Sowell led the third-place team that included Blowfish winners Roberts, Frazzitta, Christian and Seitz.

Gamecocks looking to continue Hootie dominance

It took 12 renewals for a team from the Palmetto State to finally break through to win the Hootie at Bulls Bay, one of college golf’s premier events played each spring since 2005. Now, the South Carolina Gamecocks are threatening to make the annual 15-team invitational a 54-hole contest to see who can finish second.

On March 25-27, the Gamecocks will go for an unprecedented fourth straight Hootie championship when Bulls Bay again hosts some of the top collegiate players in the country. Standing in their way will be teams from the College of Charleston, Auburn, Kentucky, Eastern Kentucky, Ole Miss, Georgia State, Wofford, Missouri, Louisville, Wisconsin, Georgia Southern, N.C. State, Iowa State and Kent State.

The event is open to spectators, free of charge.

Until last year, when South Carolina shot 844 to finish four shots ahead of Ole Miss and 10 shots clear of Auburn and N.C. State, no team in Hootie history had ever won the tournament three times, much less three times in a row.  But that all changed in 2017, despite the fact that Mississippi’s Ben Walcott, who claimed medalist honors at 12-under-par 204, and his Rebel teammate, Braden Thornberry, 205, finished one-two in the individual scoring.

This year, Greenville senior Keenan Huskey, the 2016 individual Hootie champion who finished third at Bulls Bay last year, is back to lead the Gamecocks in their quest for a Hootie ‘quadruple.’ Also returning for South Carolina will be juniors Scott Stevens and Will Miles, both of whom posted one-under 215 scores to finish in a tie for 17th at Bulls Bay one year ago.

As always, tournament “week” tees off on Friday, March 23 with a one-day tournament for sponsors and guests, followed by a special concert for tournament participants, coaches, sponsors, and guests by the tournament’s namesake band, Hootie and the Blowfish, that night.

On Saturday afternoon, college players will team with sponsors in an 18-hole team event that precedes an evening cookout and auction.

The Hootie at Bulls Bay Collegiate will be played Sunday through Tuesday.  Spectators are welcome to watch the up-and-coming tour stars.
