The past two seasons have been fruitful for Wake Forest alums on the PGA Tour, as Bill Haas won the 2011 FedEx Cup with Ping G20 Driver as discount golf clubs for sale and Webb Simpson claimed this year’s U.S. Open. The Wake Forest men’s team, though, hasn’t won since February 2010.A victory this week would help one of college golf’s most storied programs return to prominence.
