PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (June 28, 2016) – Golf Channel will broadcast highlights of the 30th PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship presented by CastleOak Securities, starting Wed., June 29, at 11 p.m. ET.
Contested each May at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Florida, the 2016 Championship featured a rare Men’s Division I playoff between Bethune-Cookman and Tennessee State, as well as a record-setting fifth straight title by Bethune-Cookman’s women’s team.
Leading the way for the Wildcats was Women’s Team Division medalist, freshman Shamiso Hatchard, who earned an exemption into this week’s Symetra Tour Tullymore Classic in Canadian Lakes, Michigan. She edged out Tiana Jones, of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, although Jones’s three-day total of 223 earned her the Women’s Individual Invitational Champion title.
After three days and 216 holes, Bethune-Cookman and Tennessee State University were implausibly tied. Bethune-Cookman emerged as Men’s Division I champions, having required just 20 shots during the playoff to Tennessee State’s 21. Still, Tennessee State’s Drew Owens was named Men’s Division I Team Medalist.
In Men’s Division II, Cal State University-Dominguez Hills took home a team title for the second time in as many years, while Philip Harrison, a sophomore at Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina, was the Division II Medalist. In addition, the University of Houston-Victoria, at 954, won the NAIA Division. And at 225, Siyan Liu, of Palm Beach Atlantic University, earned the first individual collegiate title of his career in the Men’s Individual Invitational.
The PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship has elevated minority golf by providing the students of HBCU’s and minority serving colleges and universities the opportunity to compete in a national championship. In 2006, the PGA of America was granted complete ownership and management by the National Minority Collegiate Golf Scholarship Fund.
Golf Channel will present encore replays of the 30th PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship presented by CastleOak Securities Highlight Show on Tues., July 5 at 2 p.m. ET; and Wed. Aug. 31 at noon ET.
