On Monday, Hiroshi Tai won the NCAA Golf Championship and today, the Yellow Jackets advanced to the NCAA Semifinals after upsetting No. 1 Illinois today. Georgia Tech has now set up a semifinal matchup with Florida State tomorrow. Georgia Tech got match victories from Bartley Forrester, Aidan Tran, and Hiroshi Tai on Tuesday morning to advance.
Forrester delivered the Yellow Jackets’ first point, a 3&1 victory over Tyler Goecke in the lead match after falling behind two holes early. He rallied to take a 1-hole lead with a birdie at the par-3 8th, and the match went back and forth until the Tech senior from Gainesville, Ga., won three straight holes with pars at 15, 16 and 17. He is now 4-0 in NCAA match play.
It was left for NCAA individual champion Tai, to clinch the contest for Tech in the anchor match. The sophomore from Singapore battled back to knot the match with a birdie at the 10th. He won 12, 13 and 14, all par 4s, in succession to lead by three, then closed out the match at 16 when his tee shot hit the flag and settle less than three feet from the cup.
In the other two matches, freshman Carson Kim fell to Max Herendeen, 5&4. Freshman Kale Fontenot nearly erased a four-hole deficit, rallying to within a single hole playing 18, but the match went unfinished after Tai scored the clinching point.
