 "We are excited to welcome Ben in this new chapter of his Beaver journey," said Lauritsen. "As a student-athlete, he was a fixture in our lineup, and as an assistant, his technical expertise gave our student-athletes a competitive edge in every competition. We are thrilled to see him bring that same passion and high golf IQ in a head coaching capacity and continue to elevate Beaver golf to the next level."

A member of the Beaver Men's Golf program for five seasons as a student-athlete and one as a member of its coaching staff, Corbid knows the program well. He also brings professional experience outside of the BSU ranks after serving as the Head Golf Professional at Headwaters Golf Club in Park Rapids, Minn. The Stillwater, Minn., native also served as a Golf Operation Intern at the world-class Pebble Beach Golf Course in Pebble Beach, Calif.
