USC, Duke and Alabama will take the No. 1 seeds into their respective regionals as NCAA post-season play begins May 9. They are among the 72 teams that will make up three NCAA Regional fields around the country.
Pac-12 Conference champion USC, the top-ranked team in the Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, is atop the West Regional field, followed by Arizona, another Pac-12 team. Vanderbilt, Purdue and Stanford round out the top five seeds. Earlier in the year, USC won the Stanford Invitational at Stanford Golf Course, the site of the West Regional.
Duke, coming off a 24-shot victory at the ACC Championship, is No. 1 in the Central Regional, to be played at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Course in Norman, Okla., site of this year’s U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links. Oklahoma is the No. 2 seed and will play on its home course.
Alabama, which won the team title in five of its six spring starts, is No. 1 in the East Regional, hosted by Auburn. Arkansas, UCLA and North Carolina also are in the East Regional.
In addition to the 24 teams that make up each regional field, six players will compete as individuals. Regional championships consist of 54 holes to be played May 9-11. The top eight teams and the top two individuals from each region will advance to the NCAA Championship, to be played May 21-24 at the University of Georgia Golf Course in Athens, Georgia.
