Both Georgia golf teams advance to the NCAA Championship

Georgia golf did its job, and both the men’s and women’s programs are headed to the NCAA Championships as the men advanced on Wednesday.

The Dawgs placed fourth in the Bryan Regional and were one of five teams from that region that will head to Scottsdale, Ariz., to compete for another national title. This year will be the 21st time under head coach Chris Haack that the guys advance.

Georgia’s women’s program advanced to their second-straight NCAA Championship, and their tournament is also in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Seeing both programs advance shows just how incredibly good Georgia is at golf and that it’s not just a football school but also a golf one.

Georgia golf sees both programs head west for another shot at a national championship.

The women’s NCAA Championship begins on Friday at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. They are among 24 teams that made it through the regional portion.

Now the marathon begins as there will be four rounds of stroke play and then an eight-team match play bracket that will eventually crown a champion.

The ladies rank No. 24 on Golfstat and are the No. 20 seed in the Championship event. In the first two rounds, Georgia will play Michigan and TCU.

On Thursday, Georgia got to play a practice round, and it seems the Dawgs will utilize the same lineup that brought them here.

The girls teeing it up for Georgia are Jenny Bae, Jo Hua Hung, Caterina Don, Candice Mahé and LoraLie Cowart. Céleste Dao will travel as a substitute in case they need one.

This group finished 10th at the SEC Championship tournament and rallied to finish third in the regionals.

On Wednesday, Georgia men’s found out that they would join the ladies in Scottsdale. The men’s event is from May 27-June 1, and it is at the same venue as the women’s tournament.

The Dawgs finished fourth after a tough final round of the regional tournament. They shot an 11-over 299 to finish with a total score of 1-under 863.

Georgia joins Arizona, Pepperdine, Texas A&M and Kansas as the five teams that advanced out of the Bryan Regional.

The Dawgs will likely use the same lineup that helped them advance as they will look to Trent Phillips, Ben van Wyke, Maxwell Ford, Nicolas Cassidy, and Buck Brumlow to bring home some hardware.

Both programs look to make a deep run in the NCAA Championship tournament and potentially bring home another title. Will the Year of the Dawg continue and bring Georgia more success?
