SIMPSONVILLE, Ky. — Mounting a final-day charge at its NCAA golf regional, West Virginia nearly claimed one of the five national qualifier spots, but ultimately fell two strokes shy.
Sean Covich, after directing the program to its first postseason tournament appearance in 72 years, tried to help his five-man crew process the disappointment of such a razor-thin margin played out across three days and more than 1,100 combined shots.
“They’re disappointed, but it shows our guys that we belong, that we’re not just a part of the Big 12 Conference and NCAA golf by wearing the logos,” Covich said.
