The men's golf team is the #7 seed in the Amherst, VA regional to be played May 12-14. The top seeds in the region are LSU, Oklahoma, Vandy and Pepperdine. The top 5 teams in each region advance to the NCAA championships at La Costa, near San Diego.

I have to admit that I am surprised they got the nod - they have been mediocre with the exception of their 2nd place at the Western Intercollegiate a few weeks ago.

There are nearly 300 D1 men's golf teams. About 25% of them make the regionals. Stanford's overall record defines mediocrity - 74-73-5. However Stanford is 42nd in the country, primarily because they have played tough competition in their tournaments. Stanford will have to play better and more consistently than they have all season to make any noise at regionals.

Teams (ranking):
1. LSU (6)
2. Oklahoma (7)
3. Vanderbilt (18)
4. Pepperdine [West Coast Conference] (19)
5. Tennessee (30)
6. Arizona (31)
7. Stanford (42)
8. Wake Forest (43)
9. Arkansas (55)
10. Florida Gulf Coast (56)
11. Kent State [Mid-American Conference] (78)
12. Princeton [The Ivy League] (82)
13. Howard [Northeast Conference] (252)

I am absolutely stunned (in a good way) that we made the field.
