Carson Barry Advances To NCAA Championships

BRYAN, Texas – Carson Barry held on to win a playoff Wednesday, and will advance to the NCAA Championships in Scottsdale, Ariz., starting May 27.
 
Barry finished his final round at 2-over 74, finishing 54 holes with a 3-under 213.

"I'm so excited for Carson," Oregon State head coach Jon Reehoorn said. "He hit perfect shots in the playoff. He kept the pressure on the other guys and made it look easy.
 
"Carson has worked so hard to keep getting better and it is great to see his hard work pay off."
 
Barry will now participate in the NCAA Championships as an individual at the Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz., May 27-June 1.
