East Lansing, Mich. – Michigan State men’s golfers Ashton McCulloch, August Meekhof and Troy Taylor II have all been named to the Big Ten Men’s Golfers to Watch list, announced today (Aug. 31) by the conference office.
The Spartans, who played in an NCAA Regional for the fifth time in the last six years last season, open up the 2022-23 campaign on Sept. 4-5 (Sun.-Mon.) at the Fighting Irish Classic in South Bend, Ind.
McCulloch was named All-Big Second Team and was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, just the third player in program history to earn that honor, joining Piot and current PGA Tour professional Ryan Brehm. He was third on the team with a 71.89 scoring average, the sixth-best single-season mark in program history, and posted nine top-20 finishes last year.
Meekhof, who was named to the All-Big Ten Second Team and to the All-Big Ten Championships Team, is coming off a strong summer that saw him win the Golf Association of Michigan Amateur title and reach the semifinals of the Michigan Amateur. Meekhof was second on the team with a 71.84 scoring average, the fifth-best single-season mark in program history, and posted four top-10 finishes.
Taylor returns for his fifth season in East Lansing following a summer that saw him play in the U.S. Amateur, the John Shippen Invitational and win a District Amateur title in Ohio. The most experienced player on the team with more than 115 rounds played over four years, Taylor was fourth on the team with a 72.59 scoring average last year.
