Oregon State Men's Golf Season Ends With Seventh Place Finish at Corvallis Regional

Entering the final day of competition at the Corvallis Regional, the Oregon State Men's Golf team was in solid position to qualify for Nationals. The Beavers sat in third place before Wednesday's rounds started, but a rough day three proved costly, dropping Oregon State to seventh overall, outside of the low five qualification cut off.

The Beavers first day of the tournament started strong, Oregon State finished with a -8, good enough for fourth overall. Day two also went well, with the team shooting a -5 overall to move into third place, with a -14 team score.
Unfortunately, they couldn't maintain that pace into the third day. Only Nguyn Anh Minh managed to shoot under par, and even then only a -1, while the rest of the team shot over par. That left the team with a +7 score for day 3, and a -6 score for the whole tournament.
