Osgood defeated Schriener University's Jason Lopez on the first playoff hole to earn Medalist honors.
Osgood navigated the 6,908-yard, par 72 course with a three-round score of 222 (+6) along the 6,908 yard, par-72 course before besting Lopez in a playoff.
Southwestern's Tyler Gammill, the two-time defending medalist of the event, earned Second Team All-SCAC honors with a 230 and teammate Sutherland Stith also cracked the Second Team with a 231.
The Pirates finished with a score of 915 (+51), six shots better than second-place Schriener who had a 921. Texas Lutheran University was third with a team score of 922.
Rounding out the team scoring, the University of Dallas posted its best finish in program history, coming in fourth with a 926. Trinity University was fifth at 928 and Centenary College placed sixth with a 987.
Southwestern is the first men's golf program to win three straight SCAC titles since Oglethorpe won four consecutive championships from 2000 to 2003.
Despite winning the tournament, Southwestern will have to await the results of the NCAA Selection Show next week to learn if they have earned a berth into the NCAA Division III National Championship hosted by Grandover Resort in Greensboro, N.C., May 15-18. The SCAC does not have an automatic bid in the sport of men's golf.
