April 15, 2003 | Cowboy Golf
Competing at the Barefoot Resort, the eighth-seeded Cowboys were paced by sophomore Alex Norén, who cruised to a 4 and 3 win over the Wolfpack's Fernando Mecherette. OSU also got victories from true freshman Chris Clarke, 2 and 1, sophomore Dayton Rose, 3 and 2, and true freshman Michael Ostrich, 2-up.
Justin Walters posted the lone win for N.C. State, downing OSU redshirt freshman Zack Robinson, 3 and 2.
In Saturday's morning round, the Cowboys' rally came up just short against the Tigers as OSU battled back from an early deficit to halve two matches and gain a 2-up win from Ostrich. However, Clemson picked up wins from Matt Hendrix and Ben Duncan to advance in the winner's bracket with a 3-2 victory.
The Cowboys will battle Big 12 foe and No. 3 seed Texas tomorrow morning in the event's final round.
