Men's golf coach O'Keefe on his way out after spring campaign

Staff report

Augusta University men’s golf coach Jack O’Keefe will be stepping down at the end of the current season.

“It’s been an honor to lead such a storied program and contribute to it in a small way here at Augusta,” O’Keefe stated in a press release on the university’s athletic website.

The highlight of his tenure was coaching Broc Everett to the 2018 NCAA Division I individual championship. That gave the Jaguars their third national title in men’s golf after AU (then Augusta State) won team titles in 2010 and 2011.

AU also made five NCAA Regional appearances under O’Keefe.

In his playing days, O’Keefe was an outstanding golf at the University of Arkansas before going on to play professionally. He played in the U.S. Open in 1996 and on the PGA Tour in 1997. O’Keefe also was the Hooters Tour player of the year in 1995.
