The Sacramento State men’s golf team is making headlines as they gear up for the NCAA Corvallis Regional, thanks to their impressive victory at the Big Sky Championship. Their win wasn’t just by a hair; they secured the championship by a whopping nine strokes! This solid performance marked an automatic berth into the regional tournament, and the Hornets couldn’t be more thrilled.
The tournament is set to take place at the picturesque Trysting Tree Golf Club from May 18-20, where the team will play a round each day. Sophomore Max Thomas from Rocklin expressed how satisfying it is to put in hard work with his teammates and finally see the fruits of their labor. The atmosphere is electric, and everyone’s buzzing about the team’s capabilities after such a solid season.
Looking back, this will be Sacramento State’s fifth NCAA Division I postseason appearance, and their third in just two years—quite an accomplishment for the program. With players like Gabriel Smith and Jai Bahl tying for first place in the championship, both finishing at 9-under par, these Hornets are ready to take their talents to the next level. The question now is, can they keep delivering those low scores? Stay tuned for what promises to be an exciting regional showdown!
