Transferred from: Pepperdine | Transferred to: North Carolina
You’ve heard the old adage, “if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” but Dylan Menante is doing the reverse.
North Carolina finished tied atop the leaderboard after the stroke play portion of the 2022 NCAA Championship before losing to Pepperdine, 3-2, in the match play quarterfinals. Menante, a standout player for the Waves when they won the national championship in 2021, beat UNC’s Ryan Burnett in a decisive 19-hole match and has since taken his talents from the west coast to the east coast to join the Tar Heels.
The two-time All-American and West Coast Conference Player of the Year joins a strong side in Chapel Hill and will make North Carolina one of the teams to beat this season.
