For Frank Fuhrer, being compared to a bulldog was a compliment. Scrappiness, leadership and tenacity are all qualities that helped Fuhrer earn his nickname, "The Little Bulldog," and put Carolina golf on the map. "I was not very big," said Fuhrer in an e-mail, "but I was a tenacious competitor who wanted to win as much as anybody." Fuhrer always grinded out the best score he could, even on his bad days, said All-America teammate John Spelman. No one quit because they knew Fuhrer was giving his all. If a player had to make a clutch shot, Fuhrer would.
In a game in which fouls, scoring opportunities and saves by players other than the goalie were common, North Carolina's inability to finish took center stage in their 2-2 draw Saturday against No. 2 Wake Forest.

But Saturday night, he made his highly anticipated return to the field for the Tar Heels' ACC regular-season opener against Virginia.
