AIKEN, S.C. – University of South Carolina Aiken golf coach Michael Carlisle announced the signing of Hayden Letien to a National Letter of Intent on Tuesday, April 20.
 
Letien is the second golfer from Sumter High School to sign with the Pacers this season, joining high school teammate and future college teammate Brian Amick, who inked with the Pacers during the early signing period in November of 2009.
 
“I am extremely excited about my opportunity to play golf for USC Aiken,” said Letien. “I believe it will be a great fit to further my education and golf career. I am also very excited to play for a proven college golf program and such an experienced coach.”
 
Letien joins the USC Aiken golf program with a resume that features some impressive performances such as a Runner Up finish at the South Carolinas Junior in 2008. He recorded a second round 66 in the tournament. Just one year earlier in 2007, Letien finished in the top 10 at the National Big I Tournament in Boise, Ida. He had the low tournament round of the event with a 68.
 
He is also strong in the classroom at Sumter High School where he is a member of the National Honor Society. He is currently in the top 10 in his graduating class.
 
Letien joins a historically rich program that has three national championships under its belt (2004, 2005 and 2006).
