📈 STOCK UP

🔼 California Love. We’re not the best at math, but we’re pretty sure that 76 of 78 is pretty good, right?

The OSU men’s golf team fired a closing round 275 to claim its nation-leading 17th regional title on Wednesday at the NCAA Urbana Regional at Atkins Golf Club.

The second-ranked Cowboys finished at 15-under 837 and tied with tournament host Illinois atop the leaderboard. The victory secured OSU's 76th NCAA Championship appearance in the 78-year history of the program.

OSU now has eight regional titles in 11 tries under head coach Alan Bratton as well.

Additionally, the Cowboys have won four consecutive events this spring and have six victories overall to their credit on the season.
