The Midland College Chaparrals finished the fall semester of 2025 with another strong showing at their second consecutive NCAA Division I tournament. This time the Chaps finished in 4th place at the La Tour Intercollegiate.
The La Tour Intercollegiate was hosted by NCAA Division I Nicholls State University (LA) at the La Tour Golf Course in Mathews, LA. The Chaps were the only two-year college team in the tournament field, which included 13 NCAA Division I and one NCAA Division II team (Spring Hill). MC Coach Walt Williams prepares his teams to compete against the top two-year college teams in the country by playing against NCAA Division I competition, whenever possible.
The event was won by East Texas A&M University (formerly Texas A&M Commerce) a mere 14-strokes ahead of Midland College. ETAMU shot a 54-hole team score of 827 (-37), followed by second place finisher the University of South Dakota's 836 (-28) and Houston Christian University's 839 (-25) the third place team. Midland College shot a three round team score of 841 (-23) for the fourth place finish.

Midland College's Scott Spark cemented his spot as one of the very best golfers nation with his sensational play at the La Tour tournament. Spark, a returning NJCAA All-American and member of the Chaps 2025 National Championship team, posted scores of 68-70-65--203 (-13) to finish in a first place tie with East Texas A&M's Janis Erll.

Coach Williams and the Chaps will spend the remainder of the semester working on individual improvements in preparation for the spring semester and, very likely, post-season tournament play in 2026. Midland College should open the spring tournament schedule as the #1 team in the NJCAA.
Side note: Former Midland College Chap Davis Seybert finished in a tie for third place in the individual medalist race. Midland native Seybert competed as a member of the East Texas A&M University team. Additionally, another former member of the Midland College golf team, Tom Watson, finished in a tie for 23rd place as a member of the University of New Orleans team.
