COLUMBIA, S.C. ââ’¬” The NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Selection Show is set for Thu., Apr. 27, at 11 a.m. ET, with live coverage provided by Golf Channel. The event, which will reveal the 72 teams and 24 individuals selected to compete at one of four regional championship sites from May 8-10, can also be seen live at GolfChannel.com.

This year’s regional sites are Columbus, Ohio (Scarlet Course/OSU Course), Lubbock, Texas (The Rawls Course), Athens, Ga. (University of Georgia Golf Course) and Albuquerque, N.M. (University of New Mexico Championship Course). Each regional’s low six teams and low three individuals not on those teams will advance to the 2017 NCAA Championship, set for May 19-24 at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Ill.

Golf Channel will broadcast the NCAA Championship for the third-straight year, providing more than 100 news and tournament hours for the men’s and women’s tournaments.

The No. 11 Gamecocks have captured four regional titles since 2010, including the 2016 Baton Rouge Regional. Last year’s win made it back-to-back regional championships for Carolina, which will make its 19th-straight NCAA postseason appearance this spring. Gamecock standout Katelyn Dambaugh earned medalist honors in Baton Rouge last season after matching the then-program record with a 54-hole mark of 207 (-9), while sophomore Marion Veysseyre grabbed her first-career top-20 finish (T19, +3) at University Club.

Dambaugh notched her second-career victory this past weekend, capturing the individual title at the 2017 SEC Championship. The Goose Creek, S.C., native carded a final-round 66 (-6) to finish at 12-under 204, the lowest three-round total in tournament and school history.

Carolina finished tied for fifth after totaling its lowest 54-hole score (860, -4) at the conference tournament. The Gamecocks enter the NCAA postseason with five top-five finishes on the year, including a win at the 2016 Landfall Tradition.
