Each year, USC Aiken Athletics highlights the top moment of each program. Instead of the traditional countdown to No. 1, this season PacerSports.com will feature the top moment in each program in random order.

The first moment highlighted is the golf team's victory at the Firestone Invitational. Head coach Michael Carlisle's team was one stroke up after the first day and ended up winning the tournament by a mere stroke. The Pacers were the lone Division II team in the field. Leo Johansson led the way with his second-place finish.
