MADISON, Wis. – Cameron Huss is headed to Carlsbad, California, to represent Wisconsin men’s golf at the 2024 NCAA Divison I Men’s Golf Championships at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa. The senior will play 54 holes from Friday, May 24, to Sunday, May 26, for the chance to qualify for an additional 18 holes on Monday, May 27.
Here are five things to know before the Badgers tee off:
1. Last Time Out: Cameron Huss qualified for the 2024 NCAA Golf Championships after finishing five-under par at the NCAA Regional tournament. After ending the third round in a three-way tie after regulation, Huss won the sudden-death playoff stretching into five holes to earn his first career qualification to the national tournament in California. The Wisconsin senior shot 211 (66-74-74) at the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex, which tied the best 54-hole score recorded by a Badger at an NCAA tournament, previously set by Ron Wuensch in 1991 when he won the Central Regional with 69-72-70=211. Huss became the first Badger since Dan Woltman to qualify for the NCAA Championship. Woltman qualified in 2008 after finishing T19 (71-68-79=218) at the NCAA West Regional to advance.
For the first time since 2008, a Badger is headed to the NCAA Championship 🥳
