Camden, S.C. - Just days after the end of the spring semester at USC Upstate, two members of the Spartans' men's golf team are making noise at the 57th Carolinas Four-Ball Championship at the Camden Country Club.

Baxter Culler and Josh Gallman have teamed to qualify second after stroke play in the tournament and have advanced to the match play portion of the championship. The first match play competition takes place Friday morning. Culler and Gallman combined to shoot an 11-under-par 129 total over two rounds, firing a 64 in Wednesday's first round and a 65 Thursday.

Culler, a junior from Hartsville, S.C., and Gallman, a sophomore from Gaffney, S.C., finished one stroke behind Walter Todd and Thomas Todd, III in stroke play qualifying. Culler and Gallman face Steve Peterson and Chris Smith in the first round match of the match play portion of the championship.
