The Cleveland State men’s golf team concluded its season with a final round 305 at the 2017 NCAA West Lafayette Regional on a hot and windy Wednesday at the Kampen Course.

Senior Patrick Luth (pictured above) concluded his career as CSU’s top finisher at the regionals with a 54-hole total of 227 (76-75-76) and tied for 40th place. A first team All-Horizon League selection this year, Luth became the first player in program history to play in four NCAA regionals. He concludes his career with a 75.1 scoring average, ranking sixth in CSU history.

Luth posted a 72.7 scoring average this year, tied for the second lowest in a season in school history.
