Muskingum to host OAC Men's Golf Championships

Muskingum will host the 2018 Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) Men's Golf Championships on Friday, April 27-Sunday, April 29 at River Greens Golf Course in West Lafayette, Ohio. The top-14 finishers, including ties, receive All-OAC honors. 

Otterbein clinched it third-straight OAC title a year ago after posting a three-round total of 883 (286-299-298), while Mount Union finished with an 893 (298-303-292).
