Wilson Earns NCAA Regional Golf Invite
April 30, 2025 01:56 PM | Golf
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University junior golfer Kaleb Wilson has been selected to compete as an individual at the NCAA Golf Regional in Amherst, Virginia, at Poplar Grove Golf Course from May 12-14.
Wilson, a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, becomes the second NCAA individual qualifier in school history. In 2021, Mark Goetz became the first WVU golfer to qualify for an NCAA Regional and finished second. Last year, Wilson competed at the NCAA Championship as part of WVU's team qualification.
"Kaleb has been a consistent, hard-working player for us this season," coach Sean Covich said. "He does everything you want your players to do – achieve success in the classroom, dedicated to working on his game, a great teammate and a great leader for us. He's constantly trying to improve and that's why he has earned this opportunity."
Wilson will play 54 holes against nine other individuals in the regional. The low individual not on an advancing team from each of the six regional sites will advance to the NCAA Championship at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California, in late May.
Last fall, Wilson won his first collegiate tournament at the Nemacolin Collegiate Invitational and was the only golfer to shoot under par in all three rounds (71-68-70=209) to finish -7.
