ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Lobo men’s golf team is NCAA championship-bound. UNM clinched its spot on Wednesday with a fifth-place finish in the West Lafayette Regional.
During the three-round event, the Lobos finished two-under par as a team. Bastien Amat led the Lobos individually at six-under, while Matthew Watkins also shot under par at -3. Both Amat (2) and Watkins (10) finished in the top-ten as individuals.
“This team is good,” said coach Harrington. “We’ve had a good year and top-20 all year. To be able to come out here and validate what we know we can do, to go to nationals, it’s an honor to be able to do it and to represent New Mexico.”
The Lobos now advance to the NCAA championship at the Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, CA. The tournament will take place Friday, May 24-Wednesday May 29. This marks a second consecutive championship appearance for the Lobos and the 44th in program history.
