The Tarheels have reached the NCAA Championships the last two years, including a 15th-place finish in 2018.

Greaser, a two-time, first-team all-Greater Western Ohio Conference selection, finished fifth last year in the Division I state tournament. He was the player of the year in GWOC American North Division.

Earlier this year, Greaser won back-to-back tournaments on the AJGA Tour, including the Justin Thomas Junior Championship.
