Auburn senior J.M. Butler leads Tigers to NCAA golf title

Associated Press  

CARLSBAD, Calif. — Auburn senior J.M. Butler polished off a dominant two days at La Costa by winning the anchor match Wednesday to give the Tigers the final point they needed to beat Florida State and capture their first NCAA title in men’s golf. “This is for all my teammates who push me every single day.” Butler never trailed in any of the three matches he played, making him the right player for Auburn if the championship came down to the final match. He was clinging to a 1-up lead over Luke Clanton of Florida State when Butler holed an 8-foot par putt on the 13th hole to stay ahead. Auburn freshman Jackson Koivun capped off a 3-0 record in NCAA match play by chipping in on the 14th hole to secure a 5-and-4 victory over Brett Roberts, and it wasn’t long before Brendan Valdes knocked off Frederik Kjettrup, 4 and 3, to give Auburn another point.
