These are the final Bushnell/Golfweek Coaches Polls of the spring 2022 men’s golf seasons for NJCAA Div. I and Div. II.
The Div. I season came to a close on Friday, May 13, at the 2022 NJCAA Division I Championship.
Meanwhile, the 2022 NCAA Division II Championship will take place May 16-20 at TPC Michigan in Dearborn, Michigan.
NJCAA Div. I
Hutchinson won the 2022 NJCAA Div. I Men’s Golf National Championship by 20 strokes at the Odessa Country Club in Odessa, Texas.
It’s the second straight national title for the Blue Dragons who finished 22 under. Odessa was second at 2 under, Midland CC was the only other team to finish under par at 1 under. New Mexico JC was fourth at even par and Eastern Florida State College was fifth at 5 over.
With this title, Hutchinson, located in Hutchinson, Kansas, also finished No. 1 in the final spring 2022 Bushnell/Golfweek NJCAA Div. I Coaches Poll.
Determining the individual title required extra holes, as Midland (Texas) sophomore JT Pittman outlasted Hutchinson’s Dominic Clemons in a two-hole playoff to win medalist honors.
