CARLSBAD, Calif. –– The New Mexico men’s golf team continued play Saturday at the 2025 NCAA Championship with the second round at the North Course of the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa. The Lobos shot 17-over during the second round to finish the day tied for 27th place at 26-over.

“You can’t compete at this level if you can’t put four scores together,” said head coach Jake Harrington. “I am proud of Wyatt Provence with how he bounced back from yesterday’s disappointment to shoot 1-under.
