CARLSBAD, Calif. — The No. 4 Texas Men's Golf team fired an even-par 288 on Monday to finish in sixth place after the final round of stroke play in the NCAA Championship at Omni La Costa. By virtue of its top-eight showing, the sixth-seed Longhorns move on to the NCAA Match Play quarterfinals and will face third-seed Florida on Tuesday beginning at 8:50 a.m. Central (6:50 a.m. Pacific).
UT has now advanced to NCAA Match Play (final eight teams) in eight of the last 13 opportunities (2012-13-15-16-18-19-22-25), dating back to the 2012 NCAA Championship. Texas and Illinois are the only two Division I men's programs to reach Match Play in at least eight of the last 13 opportunities.
