Coastal Carolina men’s golf signees Thadd Obecny II shot a 69 on Monday at Niagara Falls Country Club to qualify for the prestigious Porter Cup.
Obecny will join world’s top amateur golfers July 29-August 1 for the 57th annual Porter Cup, also played at Niagara Falls Country Club. Annually, the tournament attracts the finest collegiate and mid-amateur players and, throughout the years, has played host to among the most widely recognized and respected players in the game today.
Obecny shot a 59 to run away with the 2015 Kalkreuth Amateur Classic (June 13-14), posting a 36-hole total of 126 (67-59). This past May, Obecny placed third at the 96th West Virginia Amateur (May 26-29) with a four-round total of 289 (71-72-76-70).
Obecny will be a sophomore this fall with the Chanticleers after playing his freshman season at University of Central Florida.
