The Murray State Racers learned Monday they've been assigned to the NCAA Men's Golf Championship Notre Dame Regional in Notre Dame, Ind., May 20-22.
The Racers will play a practice round Tuesday, May 19 and begin the 54-hole event May 20.
There are 81 teams competing at six region sites with the top-5 teams and the top individual not on those teams advancing from each region to the finals June 1-6, at The Honors Course in Chattanooga, Tenn.
The Racers are seeded 12th of 14 teams in the Notre Dame region and are set to play with No. 10 Indiana and No. 11 Virginia Tech during the first round.
Stanford is the No. 1 seed, followed by Florida, Florida State, Duke, LSU, NC State, Iowa, Michigan and Northwestern in the top nine teams. Detroit is the No. 13 seed, while St. Francis is the No. 14 seed.
| The Warren GC, a Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore design, is the home of Notre Dame University's men's and women's teams and has received much recognition since its opening in 2000. Golf Digest had the Warren GC on its list of Best New Courses when it opened in 2000 and Golfweek named it the No. 2 best course in Indiana in 2008. |  |
