Carl Corbin of Bethune-Cookman College hits his tee shot on the tenth tee during the Final Round of the PGA Minority Collegiate Golf ChampionshipCarl Corbin of Bethune-Cookman College hits his tee shot on the tenth tee during the Final Round of the PGA Minority Collegiate Golf ChampionshipAs  the torrid Florida sun crested in the sky over Port St. Lucie, the fairway of the 12th hole on the PGA Village’s Ryder course lay vacant below. The potent wind whistling through the tops of the pines dotting the course was the lone audible sound when a blisteringdrive appeared over the horizon, settling on the fairway with a muffled thud. Soon after, Carl Corbin, Albert Kilgore III, and Spencer Slade sauntered over the hill trailed by a PGA rules official. Corbin, a senior at Bethune-Cookman College, Kilgore, a freshman at Jackson State University, and Savannah State sophomore Slade were two-thirds of the way home as the final group on the final day of the 22nd Annual PGA Minority Collegiate Golf Championship.
