Just How Good Was the 2019 Oklahoma State Golf Team?

You already know the answer: really good. Historically good. Viktor Hovland was low amateur at this year’s Masters and U.S. Open – the first time that has happened since 1998 (Matt Kuchar). We’re two months removed from the end of the college golf season and Matthew Wolff already has his first PGA victory and $1.2 million in on-course earnings.

But back to the team. They fell short of winning the national championship because of the more-exciting-but-less-meritocratic format, but their performance in the stroke-play portion of the NCAA championships showed just how dominant they were. OSU finished 31 shots clear of the rest of the field, something that hadn’t been done in 44 years.
