The Gamecocks helped organize the Hootie in 2005 and will play the event for the 12th straight season. This year s field features four top-20 clubs, including the Gamecocks (16), Auburn (8), Wake Forest (10) and Duke (20) along with four more top-50 teams. South Carolina won the event last season with a three-day score of 838 (-26), 11 shots better than New Mexico. Then-junior Matt NeSmith captured medalist honors with a score of 205 (-11), including a victory in a three-hole playoff. Will Starke also finished in the top-25, posting a score of 215 (-1) to tie for 22nd. The Gamecocks also own runner-up finishes at the Hootie from 2006, 2008 and COACH BILL MCDONALD On the ways the Hootie at Bulls Bay Intercollegiate will prepare the Gamecocks for the SEC Championship We ve got to be ready for two things if we want to be successful at Sea Island (at the SEC Championship). We ve got to be able to handle extreme wind conditions. We also have to be prepared for no wind, and in that case, it s a shootout. The last few years, we ve had soft course conditions and no wind. You ve had to make a tremendous amount of birdies. It can flip either way. The Hootie, and Bulls Bay Golf Club, is a great test for that. The golf course is very much the same way as Sea Island. If the wind blows, it definitely plays a lot more difficult, but if the wind turns off, you ve got a chance to make birdies. GAMECOCK 3 Straight NCAA Championship Appearances GamecockMGolf 1
