BYU's participation in the 2026 NCAA Men’s Golf Championships concluded as the Cougars failed to make the 15-team cut. Competing at La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California, BYU finished its tournament on Sunday at +9 after adding their Thursday score of 1-under 287. The Cougars' performance included an 8-over round on Friday, which hindered their chances to advance to the final round. Freshman Kihei Akina shot a solid 6-under through 54 holes, tying for seventh individually, but his teammates could not match his consistency. This marks the second consecutive year that BYU did not advance past the third round.
