STILLWATER – Oklahoma State's Ethan Fang and Preston Stout were among the players named by the USGA Team Selection Committee to represent the United States at the 2025 World Amateur Team Championships it was announced today by the United States Golf Association.
The Cowboy duo will be joined by Mason Howell to comprise the men's squad, which will compete for the Eisenhower Trophy Oct. 1-4 at Tanah Merah Country Club's Tampines Course in Singapore.
"We are all very proud of Mason, Ethan and Preston for their accomplishments both on and off the course," team captain Stu Francis said. "I look forward to an exciting championship with our team of three outstanding amateurs, who are proven winners, competing against the best from around the world."
Fang, a junior, became the first player representing the United States to win The Amateur Championship in 18 years with his 1-up victory over Gavin Tiernan, of Ireland, at Royal St George's in June. Fang advanced to the quarterfinals in the 2024 U.S. Amateur at Hazeltine and helped Oklahoma State claim the 2025 NCAA Division I title.
