BREMERTON, Wash. – Led by senior Cooper Schultz, who is tied atop the individual leaderboard, the Kansas State men’s golf team is tied for fourth place after Monday’s opening round of the 2025 NCAA Bremerton Regional held at the par-72, 7,167-yard Olympic Course at Gold Mountain Golf Club.
Kansas State posted a total of 2-over par 290 to sit in a tie with South Florida. The Wildcats and Bulls are one shot back of third-place Colorado and four shots behind second-place Arizona State. Florida is atop the leaderboard at 9-under par 279.
“It was a pretty solid round overall for us today,” head coach Grant Robbins said. “Cooper played great, and Ian came up big with a solid even-par round. The course is playing very difficult with extremely firm greens. We just need to stay patient and focused on the process and keep chipping away.”
A native of Andover, Kansas, Schultz is tied with Florida’s Luke Poulter with a first-round score of 4-under par 68 as that duo holds a one-shot lead over a four-way tie for third place. Schultz went 2-under par with three birdies on each side of the course. He is tied for first in the 74-man field with six birdies, while he ranks second behind Poulter by going 2-under par on the par 4s.
Schultz’s effort on Monday tied for the second best 18-hole score by a Wildcat in K-State’s NCAA Regional history, only to be outdone by Tim Tillmanns’ 67 during the second round of the 2022 NCAA Norman Regional. It was one shot better than Schultz’s previous best in a regional, a 69 in the second round of last year’s NCAA Austin Regional.
Another senior, Ian McCrary, produced a score of even-par 72 during his first NCAA Division I Regional appearance. Thanks to four total birdies on the day, the former transfer from Missouri-St. Louis enters Tuesday’s second round tied for 14th place.
Senior Kobe Valociek is tied for 32nd place at 2-over par 74, which included going even par over his first nine holes. Senior Nicklaus Mason is tied for 47th place at 4-over par 76, while freshman Erik Sabelström Holmberg is tied for 66th place following a round of 8-over par 80.
The Wildcats, the No. 10 seed in the NCAA Bremerton Regional, are ahead of five teams that are seeded above them in No. 3 Utah (6th place), No. 4 South Carolina (7th), No. 7 Charlotte (10th), No. 8 Kansas (9th) and No. 9 Colorado State (8th).
The Olympic Course played 4.61 shots over par per player on Monday, with only six holes playing at even or under par. The Wildcats finished the first round in second place by going a collective 2-over par on the par 4s, while their 18 birdies on the day ranked third.
K-State tees off the second round of the 2025 NCAA Bremerton Regional on Tuesday beginning at 8:30 a.m. (PT) off No. 10 as the Wildcats are paired with South Florida and Utah. Live results can be followed on SCOREBOARD powered by Clippd.
