Oklahoma State Wins 12th NCAA Men's Golf Title

Oklahoma State's men's golf team captured its 12th NCAA national championship with a 4-1 victory over Virginia at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, their first title since 2018 and second under head coach Alan Bratton. The youthful Cowboys lineup featured three sophomores and a freshman, with freshman Filip Fahlberg-Johnsson leading off by defeating Maxi Puregger 3 and 1, and sophomore Gaven Lane rallying from two down to win 4 and 3 against Paul Chang. Sophomore Eric Lee, who transferred from Cal, clinched the championship with a critical birdie putt on the 17th hole and a precise chip shot on the 18th, securing a 2-up win over Josh Duangmanee. Virginia's sole point came from Ben James, ranked No. 4 in amateur world standings, who defeated Preston Stout 3 and 2. OSU's victory places them tied for third all-time in men's golf titles, continuing a legacy of success across seven decades. The win also marks the 54th national championship for the Oklahoma State athletic department.
