With the emergence of freshman Albin Choi and other solid contributors, the Pack has officially reloaded right back to a familiar position – a top 25 ranking to tag along with a  bright future moving forward. While many on the team have admitted underachieving in certain events throughout the year, respectable consistency and three individual wins have made the 2010-2011 season one of the top campaigns among varsity athletics at State. Choi, a large reason for that consistency, has landed himself in seven top 10s, including back-to-back victories in the month of October. Fellow countryman Mitch Sutton accounted for the other title later in the year at Bulls Bay and has notched eight top 20s during the season. 

In his 39th year as head coach at State, Richard Sykes has once again established why he is one of the most respected names in college golf. His astonishing ability to recruit in international waters has been a cornerstone of the mens golf program for much of his time in Raleigh and Choi is yet another example of this. Sykes has built a competitive product that can challenge on regional and national platforms, and that is the exact position that Debbie Yow wants each of her programs to be at.
