Wake Forest Tournament History:
- The Deacons will be playing in the event for the sixth time.
- Wake Forest finished third in both 2006 and 2007.
- The team success in 2006 and 2007 was due in large part to Webb Simpson and Chris McCartin
- Simpson finished runner-up in 2006 while McCartin came in sixth. In 2007, Simpson won the event and McCartin finished third.
- Lee Bedford finished tied for seventh in 2010 which was the Deacons' only other top-10 individual finish.
- Last season, Wake Forest finished 12th in the 15-team field.
Wake Forest Notes:
- Wake Forest is coming off a fifth place finish at the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate last weekend after finishing with a pair of 5-under 283s.
- Senior Thomas Birdsey had a career tournament at the BOT, finishing runner-up at 11-under par.
- The 11-under 205 score for Birdsey at the BOT bested his previous 54-hole low by eight shots.
- Birdsey was the first Demon Deacon to shoot 11-under for a 54-hole tournament since Brendan Gielow in 2008.
- Birdsey leads the team with a 71.7 scoring average and a pair of top-10 finishes.
- The Deacs defeated SMU at the Payne Stewart Invitational at Pinehurst No. 2, winning both the stroke play and match play portions of the event.
- Wake Forest started three freshmen at the season-opening Carpet Capital in Clancy Waugh, Danny Guise and Woody Woodward.
- That was the first time since 1999 that three Demon Deacon freshmen started the first event.
- Birdsey and freshman Ben Balter both qualified for the U.S. Amateur this summer.
