NCAA Men's Division III Golf Championship
HistoryDuring the 1972-73 school year, the NCAA switched from a two-division format to three divisions. The first Division III men's golf tournament was hosted by Tennessee University-Martin in the spring of 1975. The tournament was originally dominated by California State-Stanislaus, which won 12 of the first 15 team championships, but Methodist College of Fayetteville, NC, took over in 1990, winning 9 of the next 10 titles. |
