Individuals to watch

• Bryce Lewis, Gr., Tennessee: Although he doesn’t have a win this year, Lewis has been pivotal for the Volunteers since Caleb Surratt turned professional earlier this year. He’s a big reason why Tennessee was able to earn a top seed.
• Gustav Frimodt, Sr., TCU: A medalist at the Big 12 Championship, Frimodt is playing as an individual but has a strong chance to earn a spot at nationals if he continues his strong play.
• Jacob Skov Oleson, Gr., Arkansas: The Razorbacks’ top player hasn’t finished worse than T-15 in his past nine stroke-play starts, including a T-11 at the SEC Championship. Perhaps he will break through here for his first win this year.

Favorite to win? Texas. The Longhorns captured the Big 12 Championship last month and looked like a different team doing so. Texas has the victory, two runner-up finishes and a third this spring. Add in playing at home, the young but experienced Longhorns should be in prime position for a regional title.

Non top-5 seed most likely to steal a spot? Notre Dame. Although the Fighting Irish placed seventh at the ACC Championship, they had finished third or better in four straight starts coming into the conference championship. Expect Notre Dame to put up a strong fight to earn a nationals bid.

Individuals to watch

• Jackson Koivun, Fr., Auburn: Not only is the SEC individual medalist in the conversation for the Phil Mickelson Award, he’s well in the race for the Haskins Award. Arguably the best player on the nation’s top-ranked team is easily one to keep an eye on.
• Ben James, So., Virginia: The reigning Phil Mickelson Award winner has had somewhat of a sophomore slump after an incredible freshman year, but he has still been consistent and a strong presence near the top of every leaderboard.
• Neal Shipley, Gr., Ohio State: The low amateur at the Masters has had his best college season to date, and he’ll need a big week to help the Buckeyes try to get inside the top five while on the outside looking in.

Favorite to win? Auburn. It’s hard to see anyone knocking of the Tigers with how well they have played this year. Auburn has lost to only four teams in stroke play all year. Don’t expect that to change this week.

Non top-5 seed most likely to steal a spot? LSU. This one seems easy, as the Tigers are playing on their home course. However, also don’t overlook Ohio State, especially if Maxwell Moldovan finds his groove, as there could be two teams to sneak into the top five.

Individuals to watch

• David Ford, Jr., North Carolina: After a stellar start to the year, David Ford has struggled in the spring, though he remains a force for the Tar Heels, especially at home. What a place regionals would be to have a signature win.
• Christo Lamprecht, Sr., Georgia Tech: With a strong finish to the year, Lamprecht could well earn himself a PGA Tour card via PGA Tour University, as well as win some hardware like the Haskins Award.
• Mats Ege, Gr., East Tennessee State: Ege is one of the names in college golf you need to know. He has three wins this year, including the SoCon title, and is no stranger to competing and beating Power 5 opponents.

Favorite to win? North Carolina. The Tar Heels, playing as the top seed while at home? Yeah, North Carolina should have a comfy three days on home turf while playing its way into NCAAs, where last year it finished as a semifinalist.

Non top-5 seed most likely to steal a spot? VCU. With three victories this season, including the Atlantic 10 title, it’s easy to see why VCU is a team that could cause chaos and steal a spot to nationals.

Individuals to watch

• Wenyi Ding, Fr., Arizona State: The midseason enrollee has been nothing short of spectacular for the Sun Devils. He set an NCAA scoring record in his second start and is well in the convo for the Haskins Award.
• Nick Gabrelcik, Sr., North Florida: Gabrelcik has a bit of a question mark coming in after missing his conference tournament, but with two victories this year and plenty on the line in terms of PGA Tour University standings, expect a strong performance from him.
• Petr Hruby, Gr., Washington: Although he doesn’t have a win this year, Hruby has been a steady presence for the Huskies. He placed T-8 at the Pac-12 Championship and is a big reason why Washington earned a No. 2 seed.

Favorite to win? Arizona State. The Sun Devils have been a different team since a poor showing at the Southern Highlands Collegiate. Three wins and a third since. In addition to Ding, Preston Summerhays and Ryggs Johnston have been stellar.

Non top-5 seed most likely to steal a spot? San Diego. Host schools have the best success when outside of the top five, so why would San Diego be any different? The West Coast Conference champions have more than enough talent to earn a spot at nationals.

Individuals to watch

• Luke Clanton, So., Florida State: Clanton had a stretch this spring where he was the best golfer in the country, winning three consecutive starts. He then placed T-5 at ACCs. Expect similar results, even on the West Coast.
• Michael La Sasso, So., Ole Miss: Although La Sasso doesn’t have a win this year, he has been incredibly consistent for the Rebels. An injury forced him to miss the opening round of SECs, but if he’s healthy for regionals, he’ll be near the lead.
• Jack Lundin, Sr., Missouri: Coming into the SEC Championship, Lundin won consecutive starts. He then placed T-50. Expect a big bounce back at regionals.

Favorite to win? Florida State. This is the regional where I feel we could see the most chaos. Stanford as the fifth seed, one would expect it to finish in the top five. But Trey Jones’ squad was a NCAA semifinalist last year for a reason.

Non top-5 seed most likely to steal a spot? UCLA. The Bruins were the first team outside of the top 30 in the last NCAA golf rankings update, meaning they were that close to being a fifth seed. Only seems right they could move up into a top-five position.

Individuals to watch

• Gordon Sargent, Jr., Vanderbilt: This one doesn’t need much explanation. Sargent is one of the best amateurs in the world and won the 2022 NCAA individual championship as a freshman. He’s a threat to win every time he tees it up.
• Bastien Amat, Sr., New Mexico: Amat is one of the more underrated players in college golf. He has two victories this year, both in fields with plenty of Power 5 talent. It shouldn’t be a surprise to see him play well at regionals.
• Ian Gilligan, Jr., Florida: Arguably the best transfer portal acquisition last year, Gilligan has continued his strong play with the Gators this season. As Florida looks to defend its title, it will rely heavily on Gilligan.

Favorite to win? Vanderbilt. The Commodores’ squad this year has the makeup of one capable of winning the national title. But up first, Sargent, Cole Sherwood, Matthew Riedel and the rest of the squad has to take care of business at regionals.

Non top-5 seed most likely to steal a spot? San Diego State. The Mountain West champions traveling to the Midwest will have an adjustment, but this is a team that has proven it can play well when the stakes are high.
