Last Time Out
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Competing in his first tournament as a Bobcat, Texas State's Bryce Womack led the TXST lineup with a top five finish at the Myrtle Beach Intercollegiate. The three-day event saw the Bobcats finish sixth to open the season.

Womack (68-69-71—208), who joined TXST this season after an NJCAA Division I National Championship team run at Midland College in 2025, never fell out of the top five in the tournament on his way to tying for fifth at -8. The junior collected 13 birdies across 54 holes, the fifth highest total of the tournament for an individual.

As a team, TXST fired its best round of tournament in round two at 275, just one stroke off the team low from 2024-25. The Bobcats were -5 under for the event. FAU took the team championship at -26, while Clemson and Florida Gulf Coast tied for second at -17.

Team Notes
The Bobcats are coming off a 2024-25 season that saw them compete at the National Golf Invitational for the second time in three seasons. TXST posted three top five finishes a season ago, including back-to-back fourth place finishes at the Kapolei Invitational and Hal Williams Collegiate for season bests. The Bobcats were sixth at the Sun Belt Conference Championship.

Individually, Sakke Siltala became the first Texas State men's golfer to qualify for NCAA Division I National Championships in program history, where he tied for 36th. The team had a four-year stretch at the Division II level when it won the 1983 National Championship and placed second in 1982 and third in 1984 before making the transition to DI in 1984.
