Ryan Cole Qualifies for NCAA Nationals in Golf

Well, this is pretty cool. JMU junior golfer Ryan Cole qualified for Nationals. Cole managed to finished tied for second in the NCAA Franklin Regional after shooting a final round 69 (nice) to finish with a three round score of 202. That ended up being the best three round total of Cole’s career. It was largely due to his ridiculous score of 64 in round two.

Cole now is all set to play for a National Championship. The final tournament will take place in Eugene, Oregon starting May 27. Qualifying for Nationals is a bid deal and something Cole (and JMU fans) should be proud of. Both teams and individuals can qualify. Cole earned the right to play as an individual. He’ll be joined in Eugene by fellow CAA golfer Will Rainey from CofC. We’ll be pulling for both guys next week.
