Lindstrom Tied for Second in NCAA Regional
May 18, 2026 | Men's Golf
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Kansas State senior men's golfer Alex Lindstrom posted an opening-round score of 4-under par 67 on Monday during the first round of the 2026 NCAA Corvallis Regional held at the par-71, 7,361-yard Trysting Tree Golf Club.
Â
A native of Halmstad, Sweden, Lindstrom enters Tuesday's second round tied for second place with four other players, one shot behind individual leader Emil Borrestuen Herstad of Washington.
Â
"Alex was rock solid all day," head coach Grant Robbins said. "With his length off the tee, he was able to have a lot of wedges for his approaches, which allowed him to be more aggressive to some of the hole locations. He is striking the ball well, and if he can hole a few putts, he will be in a good spot at the end of the week."
Â
Lindstrom posted his second-lowest round of the season behind a 63 he recorded in the first round of the Git-R-Done Invitational en route to a victory. It was his 11th round in the 60s this season, including his fourth in the last three events.
Â
Lindstrom played the front 9 at 2-under par thanks to birdies on Nos. 1, 5 and 6 before a bogey on No. 8. After making par on each of the first four holes after the turn, Lindstrom birdied Nos. 14 and 16 as part of a bogey-free back 9 to solidify his top-two spot before Moving Day.
Â
On the team side, Purdue recorded a 12-under par 272 to lead two teams tied for second place – Arkansas and Oklahoma – at 9-under par.
Â
Lindstrom begins the second round of the 2026 NCAA Corvallis Regional Tuesday morning at 12:04 p.m. (PT). Live results can be followed on SCOREBOARD powered by Clippd, while video coverage is available on Babygrande Golf.
