No. 24 South Carolina Headed to Norman for NCAA Regionals

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — No. 24 South Carolina will be the No. 4 seed in the Norman Regional for the 2022 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship. No. 1 Oklahoma is the top seed on its home course.
 
“I’m excited about our selection to the Norman Regional and I believe it’s a good golf course for us,” said head coach Bill McDonald. “We were in a regional there in 2012, and it’s a solid layout. Four SEC teams there speaks to our conference depth. It’s always an exciting challenge to be competing against the No. 1 team in the country on their home course.”
 
The Sooners were a late add to the six-site regional lineup as Alabama was unable to host at Ol’ Colony Golf Club in Tuscaloosa due to course conditions.
 
It’s a strong, 13-team field at Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club that features five top-25 programs from the latest Golfstat Team Rankings.
 
The NCAA Regional trip is the 14^th all-time under McDonald and 29^th overall in program history for the Gamecocks. The team will be seeking its eighth trip to the NCAA Championship under his direction and 22^nd overall all-time.
 
Arizona State and Grayhawk Golf Club will again play host to the 2022 NCAA Championship (May 27-June 1). The top-five teams at each of the six regional sites will advance to the national championship. The highest placing individuals on non-advancing teams will also advance to Grayhawk.
