MARSHVILLE, N.C. - Former Wake Forest golfer Sean Moore shot a two-under 214 to comeback from five strokes down and win the Eagle Chase, a National Golf Association Carolina Series event in Moore's hometown of Marshville, N.C.

Moore birdied the last hole of the final round to tie Dustin Wetherup and defeated the University of Hartford product in a playoff to pocket a $5,000 first-place payout.

Moore posted a one-over 73 in the first round and a three-under 69 in the second round on the par-72, 6,653-yards Eagle Chase Golf Course and entered the final round tied for second.

Moore, who graduated from Wake Forest in the spring of 2007, won the ACC Championship in his freshman season of 2004 after carding a 70-67-68=205 (-11). He fired a 67-68-68=203 (-10) to finish tied for third place at the NCAA East Regional in his sophomore season of 2004-05 and was the only Deacon golfer to make the individual cut at that year's NCAA Championships.

He was also instrumental in leading Wake Forest to the NCAA East Regional championship in 2006 after shooting a 68 in the first round and finishing the tournament one over par.
