WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue men’s golf team continues its postseason quest in nearly the same place it started two weeks ago, when it returns to the Pacific Northwest for the NCAA Corvallis Regional, hosted by Oregon State University at Trysting Tree Golf Club in Corvallis.
The Boilermakers’ previous tournament came in the same state, when it placed sixth at the Big Ten Championships held at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club outside Portland. Purdue hopes to finish at least one spot higher this week, which would qualify Purdue for the NCAA National Championships at the La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California, on May 29 to June 3.
