HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss graduate transfer Cameron Clarke (Pittsboro, Miss.) will open play in the NCAA Auburn Regional, beginning Monday and running through Wednesday.
Clarke will compete at the par 72, 7,560-yard Auburn University Club and play 18 holes a day over a three-day period with a chance to advance to the NCAA finals at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz., May 26-31.
He will tee off from hole No. 1, Monday, starting at 10:12 a.m.
Clarke, in his one season with the Golden Eagles, earned first-team All-Sun Belt Conference honors and voted as the league's Newcomer of the Year.
His season stroke average of 71.09 is on pace to be the lowest for a season in school history. His low round for the year was 64 as he posted a total of nine of 33 rounds in the 60s during the year. He ended the year with 21 rounds of par or below.
Clarke participated in all 11 tournaments for the Golden Eagles in 2022-23 and enjoyed a team-high six Top 10 finishes - accounting for half the team's Top 10 showings during the year - including a pair of Top 5 showings during the year. His top finish was a 3rd-place tie at the Tiger Invitational by Jason Dufner (Opelika, Ala.) in which he shot a 208 (69-70-69) as well as a fourth-place tie at the Old Town Collegiate (Winston-Salem, N.C.) with a 205 (64-67-74).
Clarke is the fifth Golden Eagle individual to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The other four include V.J. Trolio (1998), Tim Yelverton (2002), Paul Apyan (2010) and Derek Plucienski (2011).
