#okstate Championship History
• OSU has won 10 NCAA titles and has produced eight individual national champions.
• The Cowboys last national title came in 2006 under the direction of Mike McGraw. That same year also resulted in OSU's most recent medalist at the event in Jonathan Moore.
• OSU's first NCAA crown came in 1963 under the guidance of Labron Harris.
• Former coach and current OSU athletics director Mike Holder captured eight titles, winning in 1976, 1978, 1980, 1983, 1987, 1991, 1995 and 2000.
• OSU has produced 17 runner-up finishes after placing second in 2014 at Prairie Dunes Country Club.
• Earl Moeller was OSU's first individual champion in 1953 and was followed by Grier Jones in 1968. David Edwards won in 1978 and was followed by Scott Verplank, Brian Watts an E.J. Pfister, who won consecutively from 1986-88. Charles Howell won in record-setting fashion in 2000 and was the program's seventh national champion. Jonathan Moore's individual title came in 2006.
Tap-Ins
• The Cowboys have now competed at the NCAA Championship in 71 of the program's 72 years, including an NCAA-record string of 65 consecutive appearances from 1947-2011.
• After their runner-up finish in 2014, the Cowboys have finished first or second at the event 27 times (10 titles, 17 second-place showings) and have finished in the top five 53 times. The Pokes have finished third on four occasions, fourth 12 times and have been the fifth-place finisher 10 times.
