BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell heads to the CAA men's golf championship this weekend and will compete against nine league members for the automatic berth in next month's NCAA regionals.  The 54-hole event begins Sunday at the Dataw Island Club – Cotton Dike course in St. Helena Island, S.C.
 
Campbell has finished among the top three times – with a pair of first-place finishes – in its four previous tournaments.  The Camels were co-champion at the Cutter Creek Intercollegiate Mar. 27-29, sharing the title with CAA rival Elon at 9-under par (276-297-282—855).  Joachim Larsen Tegner was the individual runner-up at 7-under, Erik Johansson (-6) finished T3 and Benjamin Killingstad (-1) was 11th at Cutter Creek.
 
The Camels also won the Cleveland Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate Mar. 9-10 at 10-under par (278-277-275—830), thanks in part to Killingstad's runner-up showing.
 
The CAA field includes three teams ranked among the nation's top 100 – UNCW (43), Charleston (47) and Elon (77).  Campbell (104) is the fourth seed and will be paired with William & Mary (139) and Drexel (180) for Sunday's first round and start from the first tee at 10:30 a.m.
 
The CAA Championship continues Monday before Tuesday's final round.  Live scoring will be available at Scoreboard.clippd.com.
 
Since the start of the semester, head coach Matt Moot's team has climbed 38 places in the national rankings.  CU finished third at the Sam Ryder Intercollegiate in Feb. at LPGA International before its consecutive team titles.
 
Two players who helped the Camels finish eighth in the 2024 CAA tourney at Dataw Island will be in Moot's lineup.  Joachim Larsen Tegner finished eighth in the 2024 CAA event at 4-under par, before placing T11 at last year's championship which was held at Union League National in Swainton, N.J.  Fellow junior Erik Johansson was T10 (-2) in the '24 tournament at Dataw and T25 last spring at Union League National.
 
Johansson (71.4) and Larsen Tegner (72.0) rank 1-2 among Campbell players this season in stroke average.  Benjamin Killingstad, the 2025 CAA rookie of the year who finished T4 at Union League National, will also be in the lineup along with freshman William Sunborn and red-shirt junior Logan Graf.  Freshman Adrian Bergqvist will also travel as an alternate/substitute.
 
Since joining the CAA in 2023-24, Campbell has finished fourth (2024) and third (2023) in the league championship.  Henric Bjelke won individual honors as a senior in last season's event.
 
The CAA champion will receive the league's automatic berth in the NCAA regionals, which will be held May 18-20.

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. He collected his first collegiate coaching victory in his seventh team event – the Cleveland Golf Palmetto Intercollegiate (Mar. 9-10, 2026) and followed that with a first-place finish at the Cutter Creek Intercollegiate (Mar. 27-29).  During his time as an assistant or associate 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.
