US EditionOle Miss Junior Michael La Sasso Wins NCAA Golf Title a Few Months After Stepping on … a Sea Urchin?
- The NCAA men’s golf individual championship at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in California was claimed in late May 2025 by Michael La Sasso, a junior representing Ole Miss.
- La Sasso overcame a sea urchin spine injury at a beach near Cabo San Lucas less than three months before the championship, which required medical treatment.
- He carded an even-par 72 in the final round to finish at 11-under 277, claiming the NCAA individual title by two strokes ahead of Texas A&M’s Phichaksn Miachon and securing a narrow team match play berth for Ole Miss at La Costa.
- Reflecting on his victory, La Sasso acknowledged facing a brief difficult period halfway through the round but emphasized that recovering from it was an extraordinary experience.
- La Sasso’s win made him the second golfer from Ole Miss to claim an NCAA title and earned him spots at the upcoming U.S. Open at Oakmont in a fortnight, as well as the Masters Tournament scheduled for next April, marking a significant achievement for both his career and the university’s golf program.
