College of the Desert Men's Golf continued its stellar 2025 campaign with a clutch performance at the CCCAA Southern California Regional Finals, finishing in 3rd place and earning a trip to the State Finals—the program's third appearance since 2016.

The Roadrunners took on the grueling 36-hole, single-day tournament on Monday, May 5, hosted by Cypress College at the Los Serranos Golf Club – South Course in Chino Hills. After a challenging start that saw Desert sitting in 6th place with a first-round score of 376—just outside of qualifying position—the team responded with resilience. Tightening up their play, the Roadrunners cut 13 strokes in round two, vaulting up the leaderboard to secure 3rd place, three strokes ahead of Orange Coast College. The event was won by College of the Canyons.
