Golf Team Makes History

Men's golf opened its 2025-26 campaign at Texas Wesleyan University's Texas Intercollegiate Tournament by shooting the lowest team round in University history, finishing four under par in the third and final round of the tournament. 

All told, the Jaguars finished +8 for the tournament, finishing in seventh place out of nine teams. 

“Every round we were led by a different guy, showing our depth. If we can develop consistency and play on the level of our final round for every round of a tournament, we are going to be hard to beat," said Head Coach Christi Cano. 

The men’s golf team also earned its first-ever tournament championship at Wayland Baptist University’s Chicken Express Classic, held in October in Plainview, Texas. 

After three rounds of play, the Jaguars were tied with host Wayland Baptist at the conclusion of the final hole, forcing a one-hole playoff. The Jaguars clinched the victory in dramatic fashion during the tiebreaker, securing the program’s first tournament title. Sophomore Loris Bonnetton Alban led the team in the final round, finishing four under par. 

“What a historic run for the men’s golf team,” said Athletics Director Darnell Smith. “This marks the team’s first tournament win in the short history of the program, and I’m confident there will be many more victories in the years to come.”
