Chacarra returning to OSU in 2023
Jax Tompson Staff Reporter Cowboy golfer Eugenio Chacarra announced on Instagram Wednesday he will return to play for OSU next year as a fifth-year senior. Chacarra is currently third on the PGA Tour University rankings, which would have guaranteed him a spot on the Korn Ferry Tour, a benefit only the top five college golfers receive. While he will have the opportunity to earn that distinction again next year, nothing is for certain. Chacarra said in his statement that he made the decision to delay his professional career in order to honor his commitment to Oklahoma State, his coaches and his teammates. “Being ranked in the top five in the PGA Tour University rankings makes my decision to leave OSU especially tempting. But honoring my word to my coaches and OSU, who have done so much for me is more important,” Chacarra said. Chacarra has two wins and a three additional top 10 finishes this spring. He is also on the watch list for the Haskins Award, given to the best male collegiate golfer of the year. Now Cowboy fans can look forward to watching Chacarra continue his stellar play for another season. “I am convinced that an additional year of hard work in Stillwater will allow me to continue to grow academically and personally,” Chacarra said. “I look forward to teeing it up for the Pokes next season. Go Pokes!”
