The Oklahoma State men’s golf team is hoping to be as dominant in the NCAA Tournament as they were in the Big 12 Tournament two weeks ago.

The path to a national championship title defense continues Monday when the Cowboys take on the field at the Marana Regional at the Gallery Golf Club in Marana, Ariz. The University of Arizona is the host school at the No. 3 seed. The Cowboys are the No. 1 seed and the No. 5 ranked program in the country.

Tee times begin at 9 a.m. central on Monday.

Oklahoma State is used to walking away from regionals with a victory. No program in the country has more regional team wins than the Cowboys, who have 17 in their history including a regional win last year.

Preston Stout, who won the Big 12 individual title, will be seeking to become the first Cowboy since 2022 to win individual regional honors. Eugenio Chacarra won medalist honors that year.

Here is a preview of the event.
