SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – On the final day of competition for the 2022 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship, Oakland University grad student Thomas Giroux flew 17 spots to finish in a tie for 32nd at Grayhawk Golf Club on Monday. 

Giroux carded a 70 to go even par on day four, his lowest score of the event, to post a 289 (74-71-74-70) to go plus-nine. The Canadian started the first day of the event in a tie for 62nd and launched himself all the way up to 32nd by the end of the championship.

As the first-ever golfer to qualify for the championship in an Oakland uniform, Giroux made his way to the famous Grayhawk course after a third-place finish at the Horizon League Championship and a third-place performance at the NCAA Regional.
