Closing out a beautiful day at the Badlands Golf Course in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 11, the National Collegiate Golf Championship was a whirlwind of a tournament. Fifty-four teams and more than 110 golfers from around the country made the trip to Vegas to vie for the National Champion title. Throughout the summer and fall, over 1,400 participants competed regionally in one of 35 local qualifying tournaments across the United States to decide who would earn the opportunity to compete in the sixth annual NCGC.

At the end of the day, it was Craig Heinzman and Kyle Lickenbrock of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville who led the tournament overall, as well as within the Student Division, shooting seven under par with a score of 65. In the Alumni/Community division, father-son duo William and Jeff King from Salisbury University finished in a tie with Marc Babyar and Matthew Markewicz from Marquette, but won on a scorecard playoff on the second hole. But the school that made the best showing was certainly Central Oregon Community College, with their Faculty/Staff golfers Brett Fanning and Ricky Virk winning in their division, and Student Competitors Christian and David Green tying with Texas Christian University for the Red Bull Final 5 Competition and winning several individual awards.
