Golf Earns Sixth Straight NCAA Regional Bid
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami golf team was selected to compete in the NCAA Austin Regional on Wednesday. The 54-hole regional runs May 7-9 at the University of Texas Golf Club in Austin, Texas.
Miami earned its sixth straight berth into an NCAA Regional and will be seeking its third consecutive trip to the NCAA Championships. The Canes are attempting to advance to the NCAA Championships for the 26th time in program history.
The Hurricanes are an at-large selection into the tournament and the No. 8 seed in the regional. The challenging regional features nine of the top 30-ranked teams in the nation: Arkansas (3), Texas (7), Michigan State (10), Florida (14), Auburn (24), Oklahoma (20), Houston (25), Miami (28) and Baylor (30).
