Jon Reehoorn has led the Oregon State men’s golf program to six trips to the NCAA Championships, nine team titles and several individual honors and records during his first 14 years as the program’s head coach.
OSU had a solid 2023-24 season, winning two tournaments.
Reehoorn led the Beavers to another NCAA postseason berth during the 2022-23 season. A look at some of the team highlights from the year:
The Beavers were enjoying their best season in program history in 2019-20 before the campaign was canceled after three spring tournaments due to COVID-19. They won their third team title of the season in the final event before the cancellation, the Bandon Dunes Championship. Other highlights and records include:
With a mixture of veterans and newcomers, Reehoorn led the Beavers to one of the program’s best-ever seasons in 2018-19:
In his eighth season, the Beavers finished ahead of Oregon at the Pac-12 Championship to earn a point in the Civil War Series. Spencer Tibbits was selected to the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team after leading Oregon State with a scoring average of 71.85, tied for the sixth best in program history.
Off the course, Trevor Yu (First Team) and Shawn Lu (Second Team) earned Pac-12 All-Academic honors, making it 23 consecutive years an Oregon State men’s golfer has been honored for achievement in the classroom.
In his seventh season at Oregon State, the Beavers had six top-five finishes, including second-place showings at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational and the El Macero Invitational. Individually, Conner Kumpula won the individual title at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational with an Oregon State three-round record 15-under 198 and Calum Hill equaled the lowest score in Oregon State history with an 8-under 63 in the first round at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational.
Kevin Murphy concluded an outstanding four-year career at Oregon State with a scoring average of 73.21 (10th best in program history), 141 rounds (third most in Oregon State history) and nine top-10 finishes (tied for the ninth most in school history).
Three student-athletes earned Pac-12 All-Academic honors, as Jonas Liebich and Trevor Yu were named to the Second Team and Conner Kumpula received Honorable Mention recognition
In his sixth season, Oregon State recorded four top-three finishes and set the school’s single-round record with a 16-under 272 at the Amer Ari Invitational. Individually, Jonas Liebich tied the program record with a 9-under 63 in the second round at the Amer Ari Invitational.
Golfers once again excelled in the classroom under Reehoorn’s leadership, as Conner Kumpula was named a Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar and earned Pac-12 Second-Team All-Academic honors, and Chris Tedesco and Liebich both received Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention recognition
In his fifth season, the Beavers posted three top-five finishes, including a third-place showing at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational and a tie for fourth at Golfweek’s Conference Challenge. Individually, Alex Franklin advanced to the NCAA Regionals for the second straight year and had a scoring average of 72.25, the eighth lowest in school history.
Four players earned Pac-12 All-Academic honors in 2015, continuing a streak of 20 consecutive years an Oregon State men’s golfer has received academic recognition since it began in 1996.
In his fourth season, Reehoorn saw the Beavers win the Duck Invitational against a strong field, including intrastate rival Oregon, and post five top-5 finishes. Individually, David Fink earned All-Pac-12 Second Team honors for the second straight year, and Kevin Murphy was named All-Pac-12 Freshman Honorable Mention, becoming the first Oregon State freshman to receive All-Pac-12 recognition since John Lepak in 1999.
The men’s golf team also earned an NCAA Public Recognition Award for posting scores in the top 10 percent of its sport in the 2012-13 Academic Progress Rate (APR). The APR is an annual scorecard of academic achievement calculated for all Division I sports teams nationally. Teams must meet a certain academic threshold to qualify for the postseason, and they also can face penalties for continued low academic performance.
Oregon State had a very successful year in Reehoorn’s third season with four top-5 finishes, including winning the team title at the Mark Simpson Invitational in Erie, Colo., where they shot a 21-under 843 to equal the fifth-lowest three-round score in school history.
The Beavers shot a 10-under 278 in the final round of the NCAA Tallahassee Regional, equaling the sixth-lowest score in school history, but the late rally fell one stroke short of advancing to the NCAA Championships. It was the seventh consecutive time OSU advanced to NCAA Regional competition.
Individually, Nick Chianello became the first Oregon State golfer to win an individual crown outright when he won the ASU Thunderbird Invitational in Tempe, Ariz., and Fink led the team with a scoring average of 71.47 to earn All-Pac-12 Second Team and PING All-Region recognition.
In his second season, Reehoorn led the Beavers to titles at the Pacific Invitational and Fresno State Lexus Classic, their most in a season since 2007, and a fifth place finish at the inaugural Pac-12 Championships that were held at Trysting Tree Golf Club in Corvallis. At the conference tournament, Oregon State finished behind four of the nation’s Top 11 teams, according to the golfstat.com rankings, and ahead of No. 9 Stanford and No. 13 Washington.
The Beavers once again advanced to the NCAA Regionals where they finished in a tie for seventh place at the Stanford Regional with the help of the lowest team score on a par-70 course in school history, an 11-under 269, in the second round.
Individually, Chianello posted the 12th-best single-season scoring average in school history at 72.50 and Nick Sherwood qualified for the 112th U.S. Open that was played at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, Calif.
Reehoorn enjoyed a solid first season with the Beavers as the team finished in the top-10 in 10 of their 11 tournaments, including five top-5 finishes, and had a seventh place finish at the NCAA Arizona Regional. The Beavers also set the school record for low team score in a three-round tournament when they shot a 27-under at the Alister MacKenzie Invitational in the fall of 2010, which bettered the 26-under Oregon State shot at the 2004 Northwest Collegiate Classic.
Individually, junior Alex Moore had one of the best seasons in school history, finishing with a 70.74 scoring average for second all-time and shooting a school record 9-under 63 in the Oregon Duck Invitational. Moore became just the sixth Oregon State golfer to earn All-America honors when he was named to the PING and Golfweek honorable mention teams and was an All-Pac-10 First Team selection.
Student-athletes have enjoyed success in the classroom as well during Reehoorn’s first four years, as Oregon State has garnered Pac-12 All-Academic honors 13 times and Jonnie Motomochi was named a Pac-12 Scholar Athlete of the Year in 2012.
Reehoorn came to Oregon State after spending three years at the University of Idaho, first as the associate head coach for the men’s and women’s programs for the Vandals and then two seasons as head coach for the men’s program.
At Idaho, Reehoorn led the Vandals to new heights as they finished in the top half of the Western Athletic Conference all three years of his tenure including a school-best third-place finish in 2009. In his first year at Idaho as the associate head coach, he helped Ben Weyland earn second team All-WAC honors; a first for the Vandals’ program. Reehoorn was elevated to head coach following the 2008 season and promptly watched as his first recruit, Jarred Bossio, was selected WAC Freshman of the Year in 2009. The Vandals ended his first season as head coach with its best ranking in eight seasons.
Prior to his stop in Moscow, Reehoorn spent three seasons as the assistant coach at the University of Washington. During his time with the Huskies, he coached four All-Americans, eight All-Pac-10 selections and seven Pac-10 All-Academic selections. In his first year at Washington in 2005, the Huskies won the Pac-10 Championship and finished third at the NCAA Championships. In addition, Erik Olson won the individual title at the conference tournament and James Lepp won a playoff at the national championships to earn the individual title. In 2006, the Huskies finished runners-up at the Pac-10 Championships and ninth at the NCAA Championships.
As an athlete, Reehoorn walked-on at Washington State before ultimately earning a scholarship during his record-setting playing career for the Cougars. Reehoorn set the school’s single-season scoring average at 72.0 as a senior after notching six top-10 finishes and 12 top-25’s. He was also the team captain of WSU’s first golf team to advance to the NCAA Championships. He wrapped up his career at WSU with 14 top-10 finishes, 28 top-25 finishes and was named to the All-Pac-10 Second Team and the PING Pacific All-Region team. Outstanding in the classroom as well, Reehoorn was a three-time Pac-10 All-Academic performer and was awarded a Pac-10 post-graduate scholarship.
Reehoorn earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from Washington State in 2002 and added a Master’s of Science in Sport Administration from the University of Louisville in 2004.
Reehoorn and his wife, Meghan, live in Corvallis and have a daughter, Zoë, and son, Hudson.
