By way of finishing in fourth place at the Auburn Regional last week, the Ohio State men’s golf team will advance to the NCAA Championship at Grayhawk Golf Club in Phoenix, Arizona, this coming weekend.
It was a week in which the Buckeyes were in contention as one of five qualifying spots out of the regional to qualify, and used an effort that resulted in just one of two teams that shot under par on Wednesday to make their way through.
It’ll be the 48th national NCAA Championship appearance and the first in two consecutive years since 1997 and 1998 for the program.
“Today is always a special day and it brings forth an exceptionally high volume of emotions,” head coach Jay Moseley said in a statement. “This week is what every team and athlete prepares for all season. Our guys came out with courageous energy today and their performance on the final nine holes was truly spectacular. I could not be more excited for our team. We know our team is equipped with the skills to play Greyhawk and this week confirmed that we can play with anyone in the country when we play at, or near, our best.”
