When Tulsa hired Tre Lamb as their new head football coach, they probably didn’t expect him to make headlines on the golf course first. But that’s exactly what happened when the 35-year-old coach shot a remarkable three-over-par 75 at Forest Ridge in Broken Arrow, punching his ticket to the Oklahoma Golf State Amateur Championship.
A Coach Who Plays to Win
Here’s what makes this story fascinating: Lamb hasn’t even coached his first game for Tulsa yet, but he’s already showing the competitive fire that Golden Hurricane fans are desperate to see. After watching their team win just 12 games over three brutal seasons, supporters are looking for any sign that their new leader has what it takes.
The signs are promising. Lamb dominated at Gardner-Webb with consecutive Big South championships in 2022 and 2023, proving he knows how to build winners. His success continued at East Tennessee State, where he honed the skills that Tulsa hopes will transform their struggling program.
The Winner’s Mentality
Think about it: golf and football both require ice-cold nerves when everything’s on the line. Whether it’s sinking a crucial putt or calling the perfect play, champions find ways to deliver when it matters most.
Could Lamb’s golf success be the perfect preview of what’s coming to Tulsa football? Hurricane fans are about to find out.
