Golf Club at North Carolina State University claimed its second national title on April 27 in a wire-to-wire finish at the 2025 PGA National Collegiate Club Golf Association (NCCGA) Spring Championship at Mission Resort + Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida.
The N.C. State Club (pictured) previously won the title at the 2022 Spring Championship.
“We were leading after Round 1 and feeling pretty stressed out overnight, but I’m glad we all came through and played well on Sunday and got it done at the end,” said Travis Moore, Golf Club at North Carolina State Club President.
The players’ bond, Moore explained, made the difference and helped the team bring home their first national title in three years.
“We’ve got people who’ve played three or four years of club golf together, so we really know each other well,” he said. “We keep each other in it when we pass each other on a hole. It’s amazing being friends with seven guys and being able to do something like this. It’s awesome.”
The NCCGA is the national governing body of collegiate club golf and is operated by the PGA of America. With more than 400 schools and 5,000 members, the NCCGA makes college golf a reality for any student.
North Carolina State built on a 1-over 356 Round 1 lead to finish plus-24 (739, 356-383). Reigning champion Grand Canyon University finished second (plus-31, 746, 372-374), seven strokes behind N.C. State. Texas A&M Golf Club finished third, followed by Keiser University (in West Palm Beach, Florida) in fourth and the University of Massachusetts Amherst Golf Club rounded out the top five.
With a two-day score of 2-under (141,69-72), Ajay Patel of the University of Florida took home the individual medalist honors.
