Prior to Wednesday, the WKU men's golf program had never seen a Hilltopper advance to the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships.
That all changed when redshirt senior Billy Tom Sargent drilled a 30-foot par putt on the third playoff hole against Nevada golfer Stephen Osborne, claiming the lone individual NCAA berth out of the Athens Regional.
Sargent is the first Hilltopper to ever move past an NCAA Regional.
"Making it to regionals was an honor, and I knew it could've been my last tournament if I didn't play well," Sargent said in a press release.
