Sooners make 14th NCAA Men's Golf Championships
No. 6 LSU is the top-seeded team in the Amherst Regional. In addition to the Sooners and Tigers, the regional field consists of No. 18 Vanderbilt, No. 19 Pepperdine, No. 30 Tennessee, No. 31 Arizona, No. 42 Stanford, No. 43 Wake Forest, Arkansas, Florida Gulf Coast, Kent State, Princeton and Howard.
Amherst is one of six regional sites for the 2025 NCAA championships. The regional format includes 54 holes of stroke play with the top five teams in each regional, along with the top individual not on one of the top five teams, advancing to the championship on May 23-28 at the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, California.
This is the seventh straight year Oklahoma has received a top-three national seed, the longest streak in program history. OU has won seven NCAA regional championships.
Junior Jase Summy leads the OU squad, which won four tournaments this season and posted a 132-17-3 overall record in individual matches. Summy's scoring average is a team-best 69.83. The Sooners have beaten every team seeded ahead of them at least once this season.
Over the past decade, the Sooners have been one of the top programs in the country. OU won the national championship in 2017 and was the national runner-up in 2019, losing to Pepperdine. This is the 13 consecutive season the Sooners have qualified for NCAA postseason play.
Since 2015, Oklahoma has won 38 tournament titles, and since the start of 2021-22, no college team has won more stroke-play tournaments than the 19 won by the Sooners.
Now in his 16th season at Oklahoma, head coach Ryan Hybl has been at the helm in all of the Sooners' 14 consecutive NCAA postseason appearances. His 43 career wins makes him the fourth-winningest active coach in NCAA Division I golf.
