The Colorado School of Mines men's golf team is preparing for the 2026 RMAC Championships at Boulder Creek Golf Club in Nevada, running from Sunday to Tuesday. The tournament features a new play-six, score-four format, which aims to bolster the Orediggers' performance. After finishing fourth last year, the team hopes to reclaim the championship title, having previously won in 2012, 2018, and 2019. A critical aspect of this competition is the chance to secure a slot in the NCAA West/South Central Regional.

By the Numbers
  • Orediggers tied for fourth at last year's RMAC Championship, with Lucas Schulte placing 10th.
  • Liam Allan recently won the RJGA Palm Valley Classic, finishing at -12 with rounds of 72, 65, and 67.
State of Play
  • Mines enters the weekend ranked 11th in the South Central region; top 10 teams advance to the NCAA Regional.
  • The tournament is forecasted to see temperatures in the upper 80s with gusting winds on Monday and Tuesday.
What's Next

Success at the RMAC Championships could result in an automatic berth to the NCAA West/South Central Regional. Depending on their performance against competitors at the Lone Star Conference Championship, a strong showing may also elevate Mines into the top 10 regional rankings.

Bottom Line

The Orediggers need to capitalize on the new tournament format and leverage previous experiences to secure a championship victory while aiming for NCAA qualification. The focus should remain on cohesive team performance to enhance their ranking prospects.
