Columbus State wins PBC Men’s Golf Championship!
SAINT AUGUSTINE, Fla. - Leading after each of the three rounds, the
Columbus State University men’s golf team went wire-to-wire to win
the Peach Belt Conference Championship on Sunday. The three-round
tournament was played at the Slammer and Squire Course in Saint
Augustine, Fla.
For the Cougars, the championship is their sixth in program
history and their first since winning in 2007.
Lander’s Michal Pospisil fired a final-round 70 to claim the
Individual Championship. The junior finished one stroke ahead of
Georgia Southwestern’s Ethan Chamineak and CSU’s TaeHyung Kim.
Columbus State posted an eight-over par 296 on Sunday to
finish with an 873 54-hole total. The Cougars narrowly held off 12thranked Flagler (875) to win by two shots. No. 11 USC Aiken (892)
finished a distant third, followed by No. 15 Georgia Southwestern
(898) and Lander (899).
The conference championship came down to the final three
holes as CSU and Flagler were all even with four golfers already in the
clubhouse. TaeHyung Kim was the only Cougar left on the course and
the senior came up huge down the stretch.

Kim picked up a birdie on the 16th hole and added pars on 17
and 18. His Flagler counterpart turned in pars on 16 and 17 before
firing a bogey on the 18th. The two-shot differential proved to be the
different in the championship.
Pospisil becomes the first Lander men’s golfer to win the PBC
championship. The junior from Unhost, Czech Republic, climbed five
spots on the final day, thanks in part to three birdies on the front nine
and another on the back. He finished at two-under 70 after shooting
even par in the first two rounds. He was the only golfer in the field to
not have a round over par.
Columbus State receives the PBC’s automatic bid to the NCAA
Championships which begin on May 2 in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla.
