As conference championships begin, it’s time to forecast the 72-team field for NCAA Division I women’s golf regionals.
All six regionals will be contested May 11-13 over 54 holes with the top five teams at each site advancing to the NCAA Championship, set for May 22-27 at Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad, California.
The magic number is currently 51, which means Colorado is currently projected to receive the final at-large regional berth. South Carolina, at No. 25 in the national rankings, is the only team in position for an at-large bid but also under .500 and ineligible for a regional bid.
