EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State men's golf seniors Caleb Bond and Ashton McCulloch will tee off in the NCAA Columbus Regional on Monday, May 18 at the OSU Golf Club in Columbus, Ohio.
The Spartans were among a group of 45 individuals (and 71 teams) selected to play in one of six regionals leading up to the NCAA Championships, which will be held from May 29 to June 3 at the Omni LaCosta Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, Calif.
The top five teams and the low individual at each regional will advance to the finals.
Bond and McCulloch will begin play in the three-day, 54-hole tournament on Monday. The duo will play together, along with Adam Horn from Wright State, teeing off at 9:42 a.m. from the first hole.
McCulloch, the team's top finisher five of six events, carried a 70.65 scoring average during 17 rounds in the spring. Overall, he is second on the team with a 71.00 scoring average and has three top-5 finishes, five in the top-10 and eight in the top-20. McCulloch's 71.00 scoring average is a career best and is currently the second-best mark in a single-season at MSU. For his career, McCulloch holds the school record for career scoring average at 71.47.
Bond, who transferred last year from Ferris State, leads the team with a 70.71 scoring average, the best mark in program history. Bond has 10 top-20 finishes this year and has led the four times this season, including a tie for ninth place at 5-under par 211 in the Robert Kepler Collegiate.
This marks the 10th-straight year the Spartans have been represented in an NCAA Regional, with team appearances from 2016-19 and 2022-25 and individuals reaching a regional in 2021 (James Piot) and now in 2026.
