York Headed to NCAA Men's Golf National Championship in Kentucky

INDIANAPOLIS — The York Spartans will head to the 2019 NCAA Division III Men’s Golf Championships after the official announcement was made on Monday (May 6) by the NCAA Men's Golf Committee.

York heads to nationals after capturing its third CAC Men's Golf Championship with a 1-stroke victory over affiliate member Babson. York freshman Casey Leebrick captured medalist honors at the conference meet and leads the Spartans into NCAAs.

The championships, which will be held May 14-17 at Keene Trace Golf Club, in Nicholasville, Kentucky, will be hosted by Transylvania University. The team and individual champions will be determined after 72 holes of play or the conclusion of the last fully completed round. Forty-two teams and six individuals not on one of those teams will be selected to participate in the championships. After 36 holes of competition, the field will be cut to the top 18 teams and top six individuals not on one of those teams.

A total of 216 participants will compete at the 2019 championships. Thirty-two conferences were awarded an automatic qualification for the championships. Three teams were selected from Pool B, which consists of independent institutions and institutions that are members of conferences that do not meet the requirements for automatic qualification. The final seven berths were reserved for Pool C, which are institutions from automatic-qualifying conferences that are not the conference champion and any remaining Pool B teams. The six individuals are selected from the remaining players who have not qualified with a team.
