Cougars learn postseason fate at Noon, Wednesday, on Golf Channel
HOUSTON – The University of Houston Women's Golf program will learn its postseason fate during the NCAA Selection Show at Noon, Wednesday, on Golf Channel.
The Cougars will watch the NCAA Selection Show as a team inside the Dave Williams Facility at Golf Club of Houston. Fans can watch the NCAA Selection Show on Golf Channel or by clicking here.
Seventy-two teams and 36 individuals not on those teams will compete in NCAA Regional play May 8-10 at six sites across the nation.
Those locations include University of Georgia Golf Course (Athens, Ga.); PGA National Resort (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.); Palouse Ridge Golf Club (Pullman, Wash.); Lonnie Poole Golf Course (Raleigh, N.C.); TPC San Antonio (San Antonio, Texas) and The Club at Chatham Hills (Westfield, Ind.).
ABOUT the COUGARS
Under the leadership of Carolyn Macow Leatherwood Head Coach Lydia Gumm, the Cougars stand at #37 in the latest Golfstat rankings while freshman Moa Svedenskiold (#81), freshman Natalie Saint Germain (#176) and junior Nicole Abelar (#195) rank among the nation's top student-athletes.
This season, Houston has posted six Top-Four team finishes, including a second-place showing at the Trinity Forest Invitational in Dallas on March 6-7.
Svedenskiold leads the Cougars with a 71.63 scoring average and 19 rounds of par or better. The Halmstad, Sweden, native became the first Cougar to win an individual title at the Jim West Challenge on Oct. 23-24, 2022, and, most recently, finished second at The American Championships at Southern Hills Plantation Club on April 17-19.
Freshman Natalie Saint Germain set a school record with a 64 in the Final Round of the Schooner Fall Class at Belmar Golf Club on Sept. 24-26, 2022.
NCAA REGIONAL HISTORY
Houston has been represented in each of the seven NCAA Regionals with team appearances from 2015 to 2021.
A year ago, super senior Annie Kim qualified for the NCAA Franklin Regional at Vanderbilt Legends Club as an individual qualifier.
If selected in 2023, Houston will make its first appearance as a team in NCAA postseason play since 2019. The 2020 NCAA postseason was canceled due to the COVID pandemic while rain forced the cancellation of the 2021 NCAA Baton Rouge Regional.
UP NEXT
The top five teams and top two student-athletes (not on an advancing team) at each of the six NCAA Regional sites advance to the NCAA Championships to be played at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz., on May 19-24.
