BLACKSBURG — The 2021 ACC Men's Golf Championship is set to get underway Friday, April 23 and conclude Monday, April 26 at the Capital City Club's Crabapple Course in Milton, Georgia. Virginia Tech will be paired with Duke and Boston College for Friday's opening 36 holes.
 
For the third straight tournament, the Hokies will travel Mark Lawrence Jr., Connor Burgess, Charlie Hanson, Cameron Moore and Daniel Azallion. This lineup is coming off a fourth-place showing at the Stitch Intercollegiate in Cary, North Carolina. Tech fired rounds of 275, 277 and 278 to post a season-best, 34-under 830.
