The No. 7 LSU women’s golf team will travel to Lonnie Poole Golf Course in Raleigh, North Carolina, as the No. 2 seed for its 2015 NCAA Division I Regional Tournament on May 7-9, the NCAA announced Monday night.
The Lady Tigers will face a field of 18 teams, including four Southeastern Conference opponents — No. 1 South Carolina, No. 3 Mississippi State, No. 5 Florida and No. 8 Alabama.
Six teams will advance from all four regional sites, which will be hosted by North Carolina State, Notre Dame, San Antonio and BYU. The regional tournament will serve as a prerequisite for the national championship on May 22.
“I like [the selection],” Bahnsen said. “I don’t really know that golf course. This is the first time they have sent us east in a really long time. The field is strong, but any regional you go to is going to have a great field. It’s not like we could control the selection, we were just curious, but I think [the team] is happy with it.”
