Wyndham Championship Features 27 Atlantic Coast Conference Alumni

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Twenty-seven golfers with Atlantic Coast Conference ties will be among the field when the Wyndham Championship gets under way tomorrow at Sedgefield Country Club.

The Piedmont Triad PGA TIUR stop features 2009 U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover, who starred at Clemson, as well as 2001 British Open champion David Duval (Georgia Tech) and 1997 PGA champion Davis Love III (North Carolina).

Five former golfers from Clemson and five from Georgia Tech are among the Wyndham field, which also includes four alumni from Duke, three each from NC State and Wake Forest, two apiece from North Carolina, Virginia and Virginia Tech and one from Florida State.
