May 14, 2025 • by Dan Davies

When the dust settled on the final day at six NCAA DI Men's Regional sites, 30 teams and six individuals punched their tickets to the National Championships at Omni La Costa in Carlsbad, California.


Tallahassee Regional

Florida State (#11) ran out convincing winners on home turf, finishing at 29 under par thru 54 holes, with three team members inside the top 10. The Noles ended nine shots ahead of top seeds Ole Miss (#3), with New Mexico (#46), Georgia (#22) and Augusta (#106) clinching the other three spots. The highest ranked team to miss out was three seed San Diego State (#15).

Luke Clanton (#5) of Florida State took medalist honors at 11 under par, four shots ahead of Jack Brumlow (#33) of Georgia and Michael La Sasso (#3) of Ole Miss. Jacob Modleski (#20) of Notre Dame earned his berth at La Costa to compete as an individual.

Amherst Regional

Oklahoma (#7) turned on the power with an 11-under-par closing round round to secure an NCAA Regional Championship title and a berth at La Costa. Coach Ryan Hybl's team finished on 10 under par, four shots ahead of Vanderbilt (#18) and five clear of Tennessee (#30).

These three teams will be joined in Southern California next week by Wake Forest (#43) and Pepperdine (#19). The biggest shock of the tournament, however, was the failure of top-seeded LSU (#6) to make it out. The Tigers finished ninth, five shots outside the cut line.

Vanderbilt's Jackson Van Paris (#23) was individual medalist on eight under par, three clear of Sakke Siltala of Texas State. Siltala is ranked #208 in the country and was playing as an individual but booked his place in the field for the NCAA Men's Championship with a five-under-par 54-hole total.

Auburn Regional

The in-form Auburn Tigers, number one seeds and the #1 ranked team in the country, predictably dominated on home soil, establishing an eight-shot lead after the day one and then pulling further away from the field for a comprehensive 27-shot win. Texas A&M (#12), UCLA (#13), Purdue (#37) and Georgia Tech (#25) filled the other qualifying places, with fourth seeds SMU (#24) missing out.

Auburn's decorated sophomore Jackson Koivun (#2) won the individual title, finishing on 12 under par, four shots ahead of Omar Morales of UCLA. Kennesaw State's Claes Borregaard (#96), playing as an individual, booked his place at the finals with a third place finish. Four Auburn players finished inside the top 10.

UNLV (#35) came third on six under, while Troy (#51) and Texas Tech (#23) took the final two spots. North Carolina (#10) stumbled on the final two holes, playing them in six over par to drop out of contention.

The individual tournament was won by Hunter Thomson of Michigan, who got to 10 under par and qualified for La Costa after finishing one shot ahead of a quartet of players. UNC's David Ford, the number one player in the men's rankings, will not be competing at the NCAA Championships after finishing 11th.
