Weather forcing schedule change at NCAA Amherst Regional, which will begin Sunday

A week after two NCAA Women's Golf Regionals were impacted by weather, one of the six men's regionals is also having to change its schedule.

Due to anticipated severe weather Monday, the NCAA Amherst Regional will begin Sunday afternoon at Poplar Grove. Teams will participate in a practice round Sunday morning before beginning the opening round in the afternoon to beat storms on Monday.

Weather forecasts in Amherst call for heavy rains Monday and Tuesday with near 100 percent chance of showers and storms, and Wednesday looks like a soaker, too. NCAA rules permit regionals to begin play early in an effort to try to complete 54 holes.
