INDIANAPOLIS - Fort Hays State senior golfer Morgan Brasser has been selected to compete as an individual at the 2024 NCAA Division II Central Region Championships, announced Monday by the NCAA. Brasser is the first player in team history to make four trips to the regional meet in a career.
The 2024 Central Regional will be held at Hillcrest Country Club in Bartlesville, Okla. May 6-8. Nine teams and six individuals will make up the 51-player regional field. The MIAA will send four teams and three individuals to the regional this year. The low three teams and the top two individuals not on those teams will advance to the 2024 NCAA Division II Women's Golf National Championships, set for May 21-25 at Orange County National Golf Club in Winter Garden, Fla.
Brasser has had an incredibly consistent senior season, posting a stroke average of 74.52 through 25 rounds so far this year. She set the school record with a stroke average of 75.82 last season and will break the mark yet again this year. Brasser had a season-low round of 69, tying the best round in team history, while carding 23 rounds in the 70s and turning in just one score over 80.
The Andale, Kan. native has seven top-10 finishes in 11 events this year, including six appearances in the top five. She won two events this spring, helping her tie the school record with six career tournament victories. Brasser fired seven rounds at-or-under par on the season. She is the fifth-ranked individual in the Central Region according to the Clippd/Scoreboard rankings and is the 67th-ranked golfer in all DII.
Earlier this month Brasser became the first FHSU women's golfer to earn All-MIAA honors four times in a career. The 2022-23 MIAA Player of the Year was a first team All-MIAA pick again this year after earning honorable mention status as a freshman and sophomore.
Brasser has competed in 42 events in her four seasons as a Tiger, finishing in the top five 16 times and recording 24 top-10 finishes. She has 19 rounds at-or-under par in her career, including eight sub-par rounds and 11 at even-par. Her career stroke average of 76.53 in 96 rounds is a school record.
Brasser finished t-11th at the Central Regional Preview in September at Hillcrest CC, posting rounds of 4-over 76 and even-par 72.
