Men’s Golf Central: Austin NCAA Regional
May 12, 2024 | Men's Golf
AUSTIN, Texas – The No. 1-seeded Tennessee men's golf team is set to begin NCAA play this week, competing in the Austin Regional.
The Austin Regional, along with six other regionals across the country, is scheduled to run from Monday through Wednesday with an 18-hole round of competition each day. The top five teams from each regional will then advance to the NCAA Championships—set to be contested from May 24-29 at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa's Champions Course in Carlsbad, California.
This week's NCAA Regional is set to be contested at the 7,412-yard, par-71 University of Texas Golf Club.
Tennessee has qualified for the NCAA Regionals in each of Brennan Webb's seasons as head coach (with the exception of 2020's cancelation).
Highlighted by a program-record-tying three team tournament titles and a tied-for-first finish in stroke play at the SEC Championship, Tennessee has finished inside the top three in six tournaments this season.
THE VOLS' LINEUP
Jake Hall
Hall has provided consistency for the Vols this season and currently holds a team-leading 69.93 season stroke average. Additionally, the second team All-SEC selection has six top-25 finishes, four top-10 finishes and is coming off a tied for seventh finish at the SEC Championships where he shot 4-under overall.
Evan Woosley-Reed
Woosley-Reed enters NCAA play with a 70.00 season scoring average and has registered five top-25 finishes, with the most recent being tied for 23rd finish at the SEC Championships where he shot even-par overall.
Bryce Lewis
Lewis, who is now the fourth three-time All-SEC selection in program history, enters NCAA Regionals with a 70.04 scoring average along with six top-25 finishes. The redshirt senior was Tennessee's highest finisher at the SEC Championships after shooting 5-under overall to notch a sixth-place finish.
Bruce Murphy
Murphy has provided a spark for the Vols this spring. The SEC All-Freshman Team selection earned individual medalist honors in February following his 11-under showing at the Wolfpack Individual. Additionally, Murphy posted a sixth-place finish at the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial Tournament.
Lance Simpson
Simpson holds four top-25 finishes on the season and currently has a season scoring average of 71.37. The Knoxville, Tennessee, native's best showing came at The Goodwin where he tied for 11th place.
