Virginia Union University’s Travon Willis has won one golf title in his home state of North Carolina, and now he’s shooting for another.
Willis was set to tee off today (June 15) in the 63rd annual North Carolina Amateur at Jefferson Landing in Jefferson, N.C. The tournament runs through Sunday.
A graduate student majoring in data analytics, Willis qualified for the N.C. State event in May by winning a Sectional title in Monroe, N.C.
He prevailed over a field of 74 with a sizzling, 6-under-par, no-bogey round of 66.
Willis is eligible for the North Carolina events as a native of Indian Trail, N.C., near Charlotte.
