Golf / Kent State report
Golden Flashes begin play in NCAA Central Regional


Beacon Journal staff report

The Kent State men's golf team is set to tee off at 12:35 today as part of the NCAA Central Regional competition at the Ohio State University Scarlet Golf Course.

The top 10 teams and two individuals will advance to the NCAA Championships from May 28-31 at the Kampen Course in West Lafayette, Ind.

After finishing in second place at the Mid-American Conference Tournament, the Golden Flashes received an at-large bid, marking the school's 21st visit to regional competition. Kent State has gone on to the NCAA Championship round 12 times, with the most recent visit in 2004.

This year's team features a well-balanced mix with two seniors and two freshmen. MAC Golfer of the Year and Freshman of the Year John Hahn leads the team with a 72.4 stroke average. While playing at the Boilermaker Invitational this year, the site of the championship round, Hahn tied the third lowest score in school history at 11-under 205 (70-68-67).

Joining Hahn as All-MAC first-team selections are senior David Markle and sophomore David Ludlow. Freshman Brett Cairns was a second-team All-MAC selection. Senior Tom Ballinger competed in the 2005 and 2006 regionals.

The Flashes have five consecutive top-three finishes and have finished in the top five at nine of the 12 events they have participated in this season.
