EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State senior men's golfer Ashton McCulloch is tied for 20th place and classmate Caleb Bond is tied for 30th place after the first round of play at the NCAA Columbus Regional, being played at the OSU Golf Club in Columbus, Ohio.
The three-day, 54-hole tournament continues on Tuesday.
McCulloch shot a 2-over par 73 in Monday's first round, including a 1-under par 34 on the back nine with three birdies.
Bond is one shot back at 3-over par 74, finishing the back nine at even-par.
The pair will tee off on Tuesday at 9:53 a.m., playing with Utah individual Gabriel Palacios.
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.
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.
