SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – It’s been a big month for Austin Eckroat.
Not only is the Oklahoma State senior and recent Walker Cupper competing for another NCAA Championship this week at Grayhawk Golf Club while also locking up a Korn Ferry Tour card via PGA Tour University on Monday evening, he is also officially off the market.
The 22-year-old Eckroat got engaged to girlfriend Sally Merrill last week at Oklahoma State’s home club, Karsten Creek. Eckroat and Merrill have known each other since they were 18 months old. They shared babysitters and stayed friends even when Merrill’s family moved from Edmond, Oklahoma, down to Oklahoma City.
