The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men’s golf team has been assigned to play in the Colorado Regional at Colorado National Golf Club on May 19-21 in Erie, Colo.
If the Mocs finish in the top five in the Rocky Mountains, they’ll compete for the NCAA championship May 31-June 5 at Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Okla.
“I like it because it’s a big golf course with big greens, and I think it’s pretty good for us,” UTC coach Mark Guhne said about the regional. “It’s a good course for us. Now we just have to go there and play well.”
The NCAA seeded UTC sixth in the region. Oklahoma State, host for the national championship and the No. 1 team in the country, is the top seed.
