Thirty teams and six additional individuals punched their NCAA Championship tickets on Wednesday as six NCAA Division I women’s golf regionals wrapped up.
Top-ranked Stanford headlined the day as the host Cardinal shot an NCAA regional-record 810 (42 under) to win by a record 38 shots, breaking their previous mark by eight shots.
For the second straight year, three No. 3 seeds – Mississippi State, UCF and UCLA – did not finish among the five advancing teams at their respective sites, while No. 9 Oregon State and No. 8 Texas Tech advanced out of Stanford and Ann Arbor, Michigan, respectively.
Two playoffs took place, with Virginia and Michigan State surviving a 3-for-2 playoff in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, at the expense of North Carolina State, and Tennessee taking down Tulsa in extra holes in Waco, Texas.
