SAN FRANCISCO – The University of San Francisco men's golf team will be seeded eighth at the NCAA Bryan Texas Regional, which will be held Monday May 14 at the Traditions Club. This is the first time since the 2013 season that the Dons have earned a bid to the NCAA Regional.
 
"Exciting to have the opportunity to keep competing, especially on the national stage on the NCAA Regional," said USF head coach Jack Kennedy.  "The guys are extremely confident that we can compete with every team in our regional. We will treat this like every other elite tournament we've competed in this season, putting in a game plan, sticking to that game plan and having fun all the way through."

The Dons will be joined in the field by (according to seed) Texas A&M, Baylor, Clemson, Kentucky, UCLA, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi State, UNC Wilmington, Northern Colorado, and Bradley.

The 10 individuals earning spots in the Bryan Texas Regional are Michael Perras of Houston, Mitchell Meissner of Rice, Blake Elliott of McNeese, Zander Lozano of UTSA, Mario Carmona of Rice, Matt Murlick of Marquette, and Michael Sass of College of Charleston.

Teams earning top seeds in the other regionals were Oklahoma State (Columbus, Ohio), Vanderbilt (Kissimmee, Fla.), Oklahoma (Norman, OK.), Georgia Tech (Raleigh, N.C.), LSU (Stockton, Calif.).

The lowest five teams from each regional will advance to the NCAA Championships, which will be May 25-30, at Karsten Creek Golf Course in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Oklahoma State is the host institution for this year's championship.

The Dons are making their sixth appearance in the NCAA Regionals, the first since 2013, they have never advanced to the finals.  The closest USF has come to advancing was in 2012 when they finished four strokes out of the fifth spot at the Stanford Regional where they ultimately tied for seventh.
