East Lansing, Mich. – Michigan State’s men’s golf team was selected to play in the NCAA Regionals for the sixth time in the last seven years and will serve as the host to 13 teams at Eagle Eye Golf Club in Bath, Mich.
The Spartans, seeded No. 10 in the regional, were one of 13 teams selected to play at the site and one of 81 teams in the country to reach a regional.
The Michigan State Regional, as well as five other regionals, is scheduled to run from May 16 through May 18. The top five teams from each regional will then advance to the national championships, to be played from May 27 to June 1 at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona.
“It never gets old seeing your school’s name come up on the board for an NCAA Regional, but it’s even more special this year,” Head Coach Casey Lubahn said. “We’ve been looking forward to hosting this regional for a couple of years and for our program to be part of it is exciting.”
“I’m proud of this group of guys because they have worked really hard to put themselves in a position to earn this selection. It hasn’t been the easiest year, but they’ve battled and it’s a great honor for our program to reach the NCAA Regionals. Eagle Eye is a tremendous venue for golf, we’re familiar with the course and really looking forward to hosting some of the best teams in the country here.”
Eagle Eye Golf Club, a par-71, 7,156-yard course that was designed by Chris Lutzke in collaboration with Pete Dye, was designed as a rolling “links” style championship course featuring magnificent shot values on every hole. Eagle Eye provides a challenge from any of five sets of sees and is highlighted by its “Island Green” 17th hole.
Eagle Eye was named one of the top 100 public courses in the country in 2022 by Golfweek and was ranked No. 5 in the nation by Golf Advisor in 2017. The course hosted the 105th Michigan Amateur in 2016.
The 13 teams competing in the Bath Regional include (in order of seed): 1. Illinois; 2. Florida; 3. Texas; 4. Oregon; 5. Kansas State; 6. Georgia; 7. Liberty; 8. San Diego; 9. Little Rock; 10. Michigan State; 11. Wisconsin; 12. Illinois State; 13. Purdue Fort Wayne.
In his 12th season at the helm of the MSU program, Lubahn has guided the Spartans to representation at each of the last seven NCAA Tournaments and won at least one tournament in 10 of his 12 complete seasons…
