Men’s Golf Central: Bryan NCAA Regional
May 15, 2022 | Men's Golf
The No. 4-seeded Tennessee men's golf team is set to begin NCAA action this week, teeing off from the Bryan Regional.
The Bryan Regional, as well as the other five regionals around the nation, is scheduled to run from Monday through Wednesday with one round of competition each day. The top five teams from each regional will then advance to the national championships, to be played from May 27 to June 1 at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Located just outside Texas A&M University's campus and hosted by the Aggies, the Bryan NCAA Regional will be contested at the Traditions Club. The 7,146-yard, par-72 course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and opened in 2004.
Tennessee has qualified for NCAA Regionals in each of Brennan Webb's seasons at the helm of the program (with the exception of 2020's cancellation). In 2019, the Vols finished in sixth place at the Athens Regional, while last season the Vols tied for second place at the Noblesville Regional and qualified for the NCAA Championships for the first time since 2013.
Entering NCAA competition, Tennessee has recorded five top-four team finishes this season, as well as 13 individual top-10 finishes. The Vols are coming off of a seventh-place stroke play finish at the SEC Championships, qualifying for match play for the third straight year.
Four of the five members of Tennessee's lineup boast NCAA Regional experience. Spencer Cross, Bryce Lewis and Hunter Wolcott all competed at the Noblesville Regional last year, while Wolcott and Tyler Johnson were both in the lineup for the 2019 Athens Regional. Wolcott also competed for the Vols in the 2018 Columbus Regional.
THE VOLS' LINEUP
Spencer Cross
Named a first team All-SEC selection last week, Cross is fourth in the SEC and first on the team with a stroke average of 69.59. Cross concluded the regular season with his first career collegiate individual title at the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial in Charlottesville, Virginia, and followed it up with a tied-for-fifth-place finish in the stroke play portion of the SEC Championships.
Cross has been Tennessee's highest finisher in five straight tournaments. Overall this season, Cross has eight top-20 finishes—including five top-10 finishes.
Bryce Lewis
A second team All-SEC honoree, Lewis finished the season second on the team and 13th in the SEC with a 70.67 stroke average. Lewis recorded a top-10 finish three times this season and finished inside the top-25 during six of Tennessee's seven spring tournaments. Lewis was also second on the team in counting rounds (24.5) and rounds of par or better (18).
After posting a 73.00 stroke average in the fall, the Hendersonville native improved his stroke average by three total strokes—completing the spring with a 70.00 average.
