The Grand Canyon men's golf team is headed to Austin, Texas, to participate in the NCAA Regional Championship tournament.
The three-day tournament, which begins May 13, will be held at The University of Texas Golf Club. Thirteen teams will compete in Austin, along with 10 individual qualifiers.
The field includes fifth-ranked team in the country, Tennessee, via the Clippd National Rankings. No. 8 Arkansas, host No. 13 Texas, No. 20 Georgia and No. 29 Wake Forest round out the top five. The remaining eight programs include No. 32 Notre Dame, No. 41 UNC Greensboro, No. 44 BYU, No. 54 Utah, No. 60 San Jose State, No. 71 GCU, No. 90 Arkansas State and No. 142 Kansas City. The top five teams after the third and final round advance to the NCAA National Championship at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California, May 24-29.
For the second consecutive season, GCU earned the conference champion's automatic bid after winning the WAC Championship in Payson last weekend. It is the second NCAA tournament appearance in program history, following last year's trip to Morgan Hill, California.
GCU is coming off an thrilling WAC Championship victory, winning by one stroke off a 9-foot putt from senior Nicky Kling. Kling earned WAC Player of the Year honors, the first Lope to earn the conference's top award since Vinnie Murphy in 2018. Head coach Mark Mueller received his second consecutive WAC Coach of the Year accolade with three team victories this season.
The Lopes have started different lineups throughout the season, with Kling, All-WAC first-team honoree Tommaso Zorzetto, All-WAC second-team selection Matthew Pennington and freshman Gavin O'Neill as mainstays in the starting five. The squad also has a veteran presence with junior Josh McCabe, who shot 2 over par in his first tournament action this season in the WAC Championship's final round.. Kling and Zorzetto were a part of last season's NCAA Morgan Hill Regional, as well as junior Sam Murphy, who is out of the rest of the season due to injury.
First-round action at the Austin Regional begins Monday, May 13.
