Emil Riegger Set for NCAA Regionals

COLLEGE PARK, MD — Maryland men’s golf sophomore Emil Riegger is set to compete in NCAA Regionals this week.

Riegger will compete in the Amherst Regional, hosted by Liberty, May 11-14 at the Poplar Grove Golf Club in Amherst, Va. Dur to expected inclement weather, competition in the first round will begin Sunday afternoon after a practice round. Live scoring and tee times will be available here.

Six 54-hole regional tournaments will be conducted May 11-14. Thirteen teams and 10 individuals not on those teams will compete at each of three regionals while the other three regionals will have 14 teams and five individuals not on those teams. The top five teams and the low individual not on those teams from each regional will advance to the finals. 

Team and individual medalist titles will be decided May 23-28 at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California. Texas is the host institution for the 2025 championships.

Riegger transferred to Maryland from Drake before this season. He carried a scoring average of 70.6 this season. He picked up four top 10 finishes and seven top 20 finishes in eight events. Last weekend, Riegger tied for fifth at the Big Ten Championships and was named to the All-Big Ten Championship Team. Riegger went -1 overall with a score of 209 (68-70-71).

Riegger is the first Terrapin to earn an NCAA Regionals bid since Peter Knade and David Kocher competed in the 2018 NCAA Regionals.
