Posted: Thu May 23, 2024 12:12 pm
Coming off their sensational 1st Place Regional Win at Rancho Santa Fe Regional at The Farms Golf Club, the Oklahoma Sooner Men's Golf Team will start their NCAA Finals at the Omni La Costa's North Course in Carlsbad, CA. Sooner Sooner, Ben Lorenz was also the low individualist in the Regional.
The championships will be contested at Omni La Costa for the first time, with teams playing 54 holes of stroke play before the 30-team field is cut to 15. The last 15 teams play one final round of stroke play before the top eight teams advance to match play. Oklahoma has won two national championships (1989 and 2017) and finished runner-up in 2021.
The Sooners' streak of 13 straight NCAA appearances under head coach Ryan Hybl is the second-longest in the country. Oklahoma tees off at 2:55 p.m. CT on Friday at the par-72, 7,538-yard track. All 30 teams will play 18-hole rounds on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. After 54-holes the field will be cut to 15 teams for a final 18-holes on Monday. On Tuesday, the top-8 teams will enter the Match Play portion of the NCAA Finals with three rounds of head-to-head matches against other teams.

NCAA Regional individual champion Ben Lorenz will take the top bag at La Costa. The All-American rattled off a career-low 64 in the final round at Rancho Santa Fe to win the title and help OU punch its ticket to the championship. Drew Goodman, who finished ninth at regionals, claims the second bag at his third consecutive NCAA Championship. True freshman Ryder Cowan will make his title debut this week, earning the No. 3 bag for Hybl's squad. Luke Kluver and Jase Summy, each with NCAA Championship experience, round out the starting lineup. Freshman PJ Maybank III will serve as Oklahoma's substitute if necessary.
Good luck to the Sooners in California for the next week.
