NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships, which is played in late May or early June, is the top annual competition in U.S. men's collegiate golf. It is a strokeplay team competition, but there is also an award for the lowest scoring individual competitor. Many individual winners have gone on to have successful careers on the PGA Tour, including 1961 champion Jack Nicklaus, 1967 champion Hale Irwin, 1996 champion Tiger Woods, and three-time champions Ben Crenshaw and Phil Mickelson.
