2009 NCAA Champ Matt Hill leaves Pack, begins pro golf career

2009 NCAA Champion Matt Hill announced in May that his third season with the Pack would be his last. A year after tying Tiger Woods’ NCAA record for the most victories in a season, with eight, Hill never quite replicated the success of his sophomore season as a junior. Although the achievements of his junior year paled in comparison to his accomplishments as a sophomore, his junior season was by no means a failure. Hill took home first place at the Hootie at Bulls Bay Championship in South Carolina. That victory gave him a Wolfpack record of 10 career wins, and Hill went on to record three other Top 10 finishes in 2010, including a third place finish at the ACC Championship.
