BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Three Campbell men's golfers will compete over the weekend in the Richard Sykes Individual, hosted by NC State at Lonnie Poole Golf Course in Raleigh.
 
Competitors from 18 different schools will participate in the 54-hole event, which begins with the first two rounds on Saturday on the par-71, 7104-yard Lonnie Poole layout.  Sunday's final round begins with double tee times at 8:30 a.m.
 
Freshmen Adrian Bergqvist and William Sundborn along with senior Malik Dao will represent the Camels in the event, which includes players from eight power conference members.
 
Campbell was originally set to open its spring schedule Feb. 2-3 with the Battle at Briar's Creek, but that event was cancelled due to winter weather conditions in the South Carolina Low Country.
 
Saturday's first round commences with a 9:00 a.m. shotgun start with the second round to follow in continuous play.

The Course – Lonnie Poole GC (Par 71, 7104 yards)
The Lonnie Poole Golf Course, which opened in 2009, is an Arnold Palmer Signature tract and features great variety, with low lying areas as well as fairways with rolling hills. Several areas of the course provide views of downtown Raleigh as well as the NC State campus.  The course features three types of character - flat, wetlands, and trees – and includes nine par four holes, five par three layouts and four par five holes.  Campbell has competed at the Wolfpack Intercollegiate at Lonnie Poole GC multiple times, while also participating in the NCAA Raleigh Regional in May 2018.
 
The Coach: After spending seven seasons as assistant and associate head coach, Matt Moot is in his first year as head coach at his alma mater. During his time on the Camel staff, Moot has helped lead Campbell to five NCAA post-season trips, 12 tournament titles and three conference crowns.  Moot helped develop the 2017, 2019 (Jesper Svensson), 2018 (Ray Kraivixien) and 2021 (Pontus Nyholm) Big South Conference golfers of the year as well as four-straight league rookies of the year in Henric Bjelke (2022), Tim Holmberg (2023), Erik Johansson (CAA 2024) and Benjamin Killingstad (CAA 2025).  During his playing career (2007-11) at Campbell, Moot compiled 11 top-10 individual finishes and was a two-time Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar.  He competed in the 2009 and 2011 NCAA regionals.
 
The Lineup:
 
Freshman William Sundborn (Oslo, Norway) compiled a 72.9 stroke average over five events during the fall schedule.  He posted his best collegiate finish – a 6th place effort – at the Bash in the Boro (70-68-73—209).  Sundborn was Campbell's low individual in its season-opening tournament at Grande Dunes in Myrtle Beach, S.C., where he finished 1-over-par (71-74-72—217) and tied for 33rd place.  Sundborn has played par, or better, golf four times through 14 rounds. He has earned one victory and 17 top-10s in 33 WAGR tournaments.
 
Freshman Adrian Bergqvist (Stockholm, Sweden) posted a 74.7 stroke average over his first 12 collegiate rounds.  Bergqvist shot a season-low 68 twice at the Myrtle Beach Golf Trips Intercollegiate and the Furman Intercollegiate (par 71).  Bergqvist joined the Camel program last fall after earning one victory and six top-10 finishes in 15 World Amateur Golf Rankings (WAGR) events.
 
Senior Malik Dao (Notre-Dame-de'I'll-Perrot, Quebec) was a 2025 CAA Commissioner's Honor Roll member.  He finished T68 (77-78-73—228) last fall in his Campbell debut at the Bash at the Boro.  Dao participated in 12 events over two seasons at Eastern Kentucky before transferring to CU in the summer of 2024.  He is a former Canadian national and Quebec provincial team member.
 
Next: Following the Richard Sykes Individual, Campbell will return to action Mar. 2-3 with the Sam Ryder Invitational, hosted by Stetson at LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fla.
