The 2010-2011 men's golf team, also led by head coach Josh Gregory, secured its place in history by winning Augusta's second consecutive NCAA Division I National Championship. In the final match of the NCAA Division I Golf Championship at Karsten Creek Golf Course, the Jaguars defeated Georgia, 3-2, to claim the national title. The journey to the championship was marked by a 3-2 win over Georgia Tech in the opening match, followed by a 3-2 victory over top-ranked Oklahoma State on its home course in the semifinals. In the championship match, Carter Newman delivered an early lead for Augusta State by securing the first point. Mitch Krywulycz followed by closing out his match against Hudson Swafford at No. 17. It was Patrick Reed who sealed the victory for the Jaguars, confidently two-putting at the 17th hole to clinch the winning point. This back-to-back championship win made Augusta State just the fifth program in NCAA history to achieve consecutive titles in men's golf. The victory was celebrated with immense pride as the team returned home, bringing national recognition and a second historic championship to Augusta University.
