KU, UMKC in field for NCAA men’s golf tournament

The Kansas and UMKC men’s golf teams are headed to the NCAA tournament.

The Jayhawks and Kangaroos were in the field when regional pairings were announced Thursday morning. Six 54-hole regional tournaments will be held May 16-18. The low five teams and the low individual not on those teams from each regional will advance to the finals May 27-June 1 at Eugene Country Club in Eugene, Ore.

Kansas got an at-large bid and is the No. 7 seed in the regional hosted by Alabama at the Ol’ Colony Golf Complex in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

The Jayhawks had two first-place finishes and two seconds in five starts in 2016 before tying for sixth place last week at the Big 12 championship.
