No. 1 Seed Arkansas Opens NCAA Play in Simpsonville
SIMPSONVILLE, Ky. – No. 6 Arkansas women’s golf, the top seed at this week’s NCAA Louisville Regional, will open postseason play on Monday, May 11, at the University of Louisville Golf Club (Par 72) in Simpsonville, Kentucky.
The Hogs will tee off at 7 a.m. CT on Monday alongside No. 7 Auburn, the two seed, and No. 18 Iowa State, the three seed.
The top 5 teams from the six regionals will advance to the NCAA Championship held at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California, from May 22-27. Other regional sites include Stanford, California; Ann Arbor, Michigan; Waco, Texas; Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Tallahassee, Florida.
Arkansas’ lineup will consist of Maria Jose Marin, Reagan Zibilski, Sara Brentcheneff, Abbey Schutte and Swetha Sathish. Sophomore Natalie Blonien will be the substitute player.
The Hogs finished runner-up at the Columbus Regional last season and went on to finish sixth at the NCAA Championship before losing to eventual champion Northwestern in the match play quarterfinals. Marin became the third Razorback to win the NCAA individual title with a 12-under 276, the third-lowest score to par by an NCAA champion in history.
The Razorbacks last played in Simpsonville in 2021 but fell one stroke short of advancing to nationals.
