The Alabama men’s golf team found itself mere shots away from a national championship in the spring of 2012, but that disappointment has only stoked the competitive res of a team that returns three of the nation’s top golfers and a coaching staff determined to guide the Crimson Tide to the sport’s most elusive prize.

Alabama head coach Jay Seawell has more than established the Tide as a contender; he has developed a proud program into an elite national power. UA was the No. 1 seed after the stroke-play portion of the 2012 NCAA Championships and then delivered with match-play wins over Kent State and California before a 3-2 loss to Texas in the nal.

“A couple of words are going to be key phrases for this team,” Seawell said. “The rst word is determination. Last year’s loss in the championship match will bring a sense of resolve and determination to get back there. The other is word patience. May of 2013 is a long time from now and we have a lot of golf to play and plenty of room for improvment. This team will draw a lot of determination from last year and will feed off that, but we also have to keep it in context. This is a new year and we have to be patient.”

The Crimson Tide, who also captured a SEC Championship and won the NCAA Athens Regional, enter the 2012-13 season as the preseason No. 1 in both the Golf World Coaches Poll and Golfweek. The Tide reigning National Player of the Year Justin Thomas along with fellow All-Americans Bobby Wyatt and Cory Whitsett. The trio all are ranked in Golfweek’s preseason individual top 10 with Thomas rst, Wyatt fth and Whitsett eighth.

“It’s special any time you have guys who are talented, but more than that just do it the right way,” Seawell said. “They do things right on and off the golf course and in the classroom. You wonder why people are good? They are good because they are the hardest working guys on our team and they do all the little things correctly, so it is a special time and these are special players.”

The top of the Tide lineup only represents a portion of what propels the program. The Tide’s depth is also a driving force, featuring other talented veterans such as Scott Strohmeyer, Trey Mullinax and Lee Knox. Alabama also features a bevy of youngsters in redshirt freshman Tom Lovelady, William Sellers, Robbie Prater and Dru Love.

“We have talked about the three great players, but who is going to play four and ve?” Seawell said. “Who is going to step up in everything we do: in the classroom, in the weight room, in practices? We have great competition for those positions from a great group of players with tremendous talent. It really is just going to be an ongoing process all year long to see who is going to step in and help us be what we need to be.”

Thomas, a sophomore from Goshen, Ky., accomplished plenty of rsts for Alabama golfers last season, winning the Jack Nicklaus and the Fred Haskins National Player of the Year Awards and the Phil Mickelson Award for the nation’s top freshman. The unanimous All-American posted a school-record 70.44 scoring average and won a record four times, including the SEC Championship and the NCAA Athens Regional.

With that success comes added expectations, but the Alabama coaching staff is con dent in Thomas’ approach, and just what him to be himself this season.

“The hardest part of anything in life is success and how you handle success,” Seawell said. “Don’t think about last year or try to do anything different. We just want Justin to be the best he can be every day. If he will keep that perspective, and worry about what he did yesterday, I think he will be ne.”

Wyatt was the medalist at the 2012 U.S. Amateur before falling to Thomas in the round of 16. The junior from Mobile, Ala., appears to be playing his best golf going into his junior season. He averaged 71.70 strokes per round as a sophomore with six top- ve nishes, including runner-up showings at the SEC Championship and the NCAA

Athens Regional.

“It’s really been fun to watch, since about February, the maturation of Bobby and his game,” Seawell said. “I’ve watched Bobby play since he was 12 years old, through the recruiting process and all, and he has been a winner. You can tell that he wants to take another step in his golf game and it’s been really great to watch him develop, both mentally and physically. ”

Whitsett, from Houston, Texas, has captured medalist honors three times in the past two years, including a win at the 2011 Western Re ning All-American Golf Classic last season and back-to-back wins at the Linger Longer Invitational. He was second on the

team last year with a 71.39 stroke average and poised for a break-through junior year.“I don’t want to put the pressure on Cory, but I do believe he is a guy who wants more,” Seawell said. “He brings great talent, he is an Elite 89 winner (best GPA in NCAA nals eld in 2012), he exhibits class, and he represents us well. If we are going to be really

successful, he needs to take that next step on the golf course. If he does that, Cory can accomplish almost anything.”

Hard work and attention to detail gave Strohmeyer a shot in the Tide’s lineup early in the spring of 2012 and he didn’t disappoint. The senior started the nal seven events of that historic season while posting an average of 73.71 strokes per round. He was instrumental in match play at the NCAA Championships, posting wins in the quarter nal and semi nal to help Alabama advance. Now the Auburn, Ala., native will be looked to for leadership and direction.

“Scott is going to bring a great deal of leadership to our team,” Seawell said. “He is by far the hardest worker on our team, most committed. He is going to provide good leadership off the golf course that we miss right now without Hunter Hamrick. I hope that Scott becomes our captain. He is mature and he does all the right things, he just needs to get a little more consistent on the course. If he does that, I think he is going to be one of those solid-rock performers.”

Lovelady started the rst three events in the fall of 2011 before an injury forced him to the sideline. Now healthy, the Birmingham native received a medical redshirt and enters the 2012-13 ready to battle for a spot in the Crimson Tide’s starting ve.

“Tom got a small taste before he got hurt last year and really had the bend t of seeing what competitive golf is all about,” Seawell said. “He is probably the key component to the back end of the lineup.”

Mullinax, also from Birmingham, has started 11 tournaments over the past two seasons with a 74.67 scoring average. The junior boasts NCAA Championship experience from 2011 and really played well in the summer of 2012, winning the Northern Amateur and qualifying for the U.S. Amateur. The combination of experience and talent should keep him challenging for a starting job.

“Trey took a step over the summer and you like to see your players make that commitment with the mindset of becoming a better player,” Seawell said. “He is going to be very competitive for that fourth and fth spot in the lineup.”

Knox, a native of Augusta, Ga, boasts 15 career starts, and joins Strohmeyer as the team’s only seniors. That experience will put him right in the middle of the chase for those nal two spots in the UA lineup.

“We really need Lee to step up and run that nal leg of his race while he is here at Alabama,” Seawell said. “He’s done a lot of great things here, and we really need him to be that senior leader.”

Alabama also welcomes three newcomers to the roster with the addition of Prater, Sellers and Love. They will bring a new energy and even more competition to Alabama, as they strive to reach their goals.

The Crimson Tide will play a schedule that will both challenge and prepare them or the spring and the ensuing postseason. Alabama’s fall schedule will begin, as usual, at the Carpet Capital Collegiate on Sept. 7-9, before returning to the Golfweek/PINGPreview at the Capital City Club in Atlanta, site of the 2013 NCAA Championship. UA then will return home to host the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate at the Old Overton Club in Vestavia Hills on Oct. 15-16, before wrapping up the fall slate at the always dif cult Isleworth Collegiate Invitational.

The spring opens at the Puerto Rico Classic for the ninth straight season, as Alabama will be looking to win its third straight title in Puerto Rico. A trip to Las Vegas for the Southern Highlands Collegiate Masters is next. The Crimson Tide will then look to defend their team titles at the Schenkel Invitational and the Linger Longer Invitational. The Tide’s nal tune-up before the postseason comes at the Aggie Invitational on April 6-7 at the Traditions Club in Bryan, Texas. The SEC Championship are set for April 19-21 at the Seaside Course at the Sea Island Golf Club, as the Tide look to defend their title. NCAA Regionals are set for May 16-18, with the NCAA Championships on the Crabapple Course at the Capital City Club in Atlanta on May 28-June 2.

Jay Seawell has not only rekindled the proud tradition of the Alabama Crimson Tide men’s golf program, he has entrenched the Crimson Tide into the forefront of the nation’s elite teams. The golf team’s success under Seawell has energized the Tide’s alumni base and created an excitement for Alabama golf not seen in recent memory. Named the University of Alabama’s head men’s golf coach on July 26, 2002, Seawell enters his 11th season at the helm of the Crimson Tide men’s golf program in 2012-13. His teams are routinely ranked among the top ve in the country while he has led UA to nine NCAA Tournament appearances and six NCAA Championship berths - including six of the past eight years and a runner-up nish in 2012.

Seawell is producing headline-worthy student-athletes, on the course and in the classroom. His golfers are among the most active in the Tuscaloosa community, volunteering their time at schools and helping host athletic-department sponsored events for local children. Men’s golf has put 54 players on the SEC Academic Honor Roll in the last 10 years and seen four players named to the Cleveland Golf All-America Scholar Team. Joseph Sykora, was a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-American and was voted by the league golf coaches as the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year an SEC-record three times. In 2008, Sykora won the SEC’s H. Boyd McWhorter Scholar-Athlete Award (all sports, all males in the league) and Alabama’s Bryant Award, as the top male student-athlete from any sport. Cory Whitsett then received the 2012 NCAA Elite 89 Award, presented annually to the golfer at the NCAA Championships with the highest GPA. Seawell has coached 19 All-Americans during his coaching career, most recently four in 2011-12, Justin Thomas, Whitsett, Bobby Wyatt and Hunter Hamrick. His golfers at Alabama have been nominated for the sport’s highest national awards, including the Ben Hogan Award, the Jack Nicklaus Award, the Fred Haskins Award, the Phil Mickelson Award and the Byron Nelson Award. Thomas won the Nicklaus, Haskins and Mickelson awards in 2012. Seawell has coached Alabama to 25 team tournament championships with 20 individual medalists in 10 years in Tuscaloosa. The 2011-12 Alabama team was not only the program’s best team on paper, but its accomplishments on the course veri ed those beliefs with a SEC Championship and a runner-up nish at the NCAA Championships. The Tide won the stroke-play portion of the NCAA Championships at Riviera Country Club with a 7-over 859. Alabama then dispatched of Kent

State (3-1-1) in the quarter nals of match play and California (3-2) in the semi nals. The Crimson Tide’s bid for the program’s rst national championship fell one match short as the Tide were edged by Texas (3-2) in the NCAA Finals. Alabama won ve of the nal seven team events heading into the 2012 NCAA Championships with victories at the Puerto Rico Classic, the Schenkel Invitational, the Linger Longer Invitational, the SEC Championship and the NCAA Athens Regional. The 2011-12 Tide set school records for team season scoring average at 284.56 (.78 vs. par), low round vs. par at 20-under 268 and low 54 holes vs. par 47-under 817. Seawell was named the SEC Coach of the Year for the second time and was a nalist for the Dave Williams Award (national coach of the year). Seawell also coached impact freshman Thomas to unseen heights in 2011-12. The rookie from Goshen, Ky., won a school-record four times, including medalist honors a the SEC Championship. For his efforts, Thomas was named the SEC Player and Freshman of the Year and was the rst Tide player to be selected as the national player of the year. Whitsett and Wyatt turned in successful sophomore campaigns in 2011-12. Whitsett won twice, capturing the 2011 Western Re ning All-America Classic and the 2012 Linger Longer Invitational. He nished with a 71.38 scoring average and earned second-team All-America and rst-team All-SEC accolades. Wyatt averaged 71.70 strokes per round and was a second-team All-American and rst-team All-SEC choice, after recording seven top- ve nishes. Hamrick wrapped up his decorated Alabama career by earning 2012 honorable mention All-America honors and second-team All-SEC plaudits. Alabama’s 2010-11 team captured ve tournament titles and nished outside of the top four only once in stroke play. The Tide posted a 137-24-0 record in head-

to-head meetings and had four players ranked in the top 65 of the Golfweek/Sagarin Performance Index at the end of the season. Alabama posted a runner-up nish at the SEC Championship and quali ed for the NCAA Championships with a thrid-place nish at the 2011 NCAA Indiana Regional. Bud Cauley re-wrote the Alabama record book in 2011-12 with a 70.75 scoring average over 36 rounds. He nished 15 shots under par and was named a rst-team All-American by both PING and Golfweek while also being selected to the All-Nicklaus team. Whitsett garnered 2011 All-America honors under Seawell’s tutelage, being named to the second team by both PING and Golfweek while garnering rst-team All-SEC and SEC Freshman of the Year honors. Wyatt was a second-team All-SEC choice. Returning only two lettermen for the 2009-10 season, Seawell was presented one of his biggest challenges. The veteran coach responded with a squad that captured its fourth straight Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate and boasted four medalists throughout the season. The win at the Jerry Pate was the program’s fourth in eight years under Seawell’s guidance.

Hamrick captured medalist honors at the 2009 JPNI and the Western Re ning All-America Classic while tying for rst the following spring at the Schenkel E-Z-Go Invitational, on his way to honorable mention All-America honors. Cauley set a school record for scoring average at 71.32 while Hamrick nished second on the team at 72.88. Cauley won the Isleworth Collegiate and the Linger Longer Invitational while garnering 2010 rst-team All-American honors.

The 2008-09 team added a program rst to Seawell’s resume with a victory at the NCAA Northeast Regional. It was the rst regional title for the Crimson Tide’s men’s golf team and the club’s second win of the season. Seawell’s teams from 2007-09 nished sixth, 13th and 15th, respectively, in the NCAA Championships while the 2008 team also captured the school’s rst Southeastern Conference Championship since 1979. The 2008-09 team nished with two tournament titles, at the Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate and the NCAA Northeast Regional. Seawell’s ve-man team almost always included at least three freshmen and nished with a 292.06 average score per round.

MAL M. MOOREA T H L E T I C S D I R E C T O R

The University of Alabama’s director of athletics since 1999, Mal Moore has made an indelible mark on one of the nation’s most storied athletic programs, leading a department that has enjoyed tremendous success athleti-cally and academically and has undergone an unprecedented period of growth during his tenure. Through his guidance, Alabama’s athletic department remains focused on his vision of having all Crimson Tide athletic teams and stu-dent-athletes competitive at the highest level nationally while continuing to elevate athletic facilities at the Capstone to premier status nationally for all sports. During his tenure as director of athletics, Moore has overseen more than $200 million of capital improvements to University of Alabama ath-letic facilities. Those projects have encompassed the entire scope of all Crimson Tide athletic programs and have bene tted every Alabama stu-dent-athlete, coach and administrator. Throughout his career, Moore has worked with a diversi ed eld of constituents, from fellow coaches and former players, to fans and the busi-ness community. All of those experiences and relationships – in addition to his ability to unify those many constituents - have made him the ideal person to lead Alabama athletics in the 21st century.

Moore’s dedication to and love of the University of Alabama was recognized on March 28, 2007, when, as a permanent tribute to his life-long contribution to the University of Alabama, the Board of Trustees of the University of Alabama of cially dedicated the facility formerly known as the Football Building as the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility. Under Moore’s direction, Alabama’s athletic teams have produced national championship teams in football (2009, 2011 and 2012), gymnas-tics (2002, 2011 and 2012), women’s golf (2012) and softball (2012) and Southeastern Conference championships in football, basketball, baseball, gymnastics, men’s golf, women’s golf, men’s cross country and softball. Alabama athletes have earned some of the highest honors the SEC and NCAA have to offer, including SEC Athlete of the Year, SEC Schol-ar-Athlete of the Year, NCAA Top VIII, NCAA Postgraduate Scholar-ships and NCAA Sportsperson of the Year. These honors are over and above the individual conference and national titles that Alabama athletes continue to bring home to the Capstone on a regular basis. In addition to making his mark on Alabama, Moore also has made a national impact as a key member of several prestigious NCAA and college football committees. Moore has served on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, the SEC Athletic Directors Bowl Advisory Committee, and the Big Six Conferences Minority Coaches Forum. Moore’s distinguished record of service to UA began more than 50 years ago when he joined the Crimson Tide football squad as a scholar-ship player for coach Paul “Bear” Bryant from 1958-62. Moore has the distinction of being a part of 10 national championship football teams as a player, coach and athletic director (1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979, 1992, 2009, 2011 and 2012), 17 SEC championships, and 39 bowl trips. He is the only individual connected with the Tide program to be a part of nine national football championships. In 2011, Moore was elected to the State of Alabama Sports Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as a coach and an administrator. The National Football Foundation then named Moore the recipient of its 2012 John L. Toner Award winner, which goes annually to the athletic director who has “demonstrated superior administrative abilities and shown out-standing dedication to college athletics and particularly college football.” During a coaching career that spanned 31 years, Moore spent 22 of those at Alabama with stops at Montana State, Notre Dame and the NFL’s St. Louis and Phoenix Cardinals. At Alabama, Moore started as Coach Bryant’s graduate assistant in 1964 and then was defensive back eld coach for six seasons beginning in 1965 before becoming quarterbacks coach from 1971-82, also serving as the Tide’s rst offensive coordinator start-ing in 1975. He returned as Alabama’s offensive coordinator under Gene Stallings from 1990-93 before moving into athletic administration. A 1963 graduate of the University of Alabama, Moore holds both an undergraduate degree in sociology and a 1964 Master’s Degree in sec-ondary education from the Capstone. A native of Dozier, Ala., he was married to the former Charlotte Davis of Tuscaloosa for 41 years before she passed away after a long illness in 2010. Moore has one daughter, Mrs. Steve (Heather) Cook of Scottsdale, Ariz., a granddaughter, Anna Lee, and a grandson, Charles Cannon.

Dr. Judith L. Bonner was named the 28th president of The University of Alabama on Nov. 1, 2012. Founded in 1831, the University is the state’s agship and a student-centered comprehensive research university.

Dr. Bonner recently served as interim president from March 5 until Aug. 31, 2012. She was promoted to executive vice president and provost on April 1, 2006, after serving as provost and vice president for Academic Affairs since March 2003. During the decade she served as provost, the University underwent transformational change growing from 19,000 students in 2003 to more than 33,600 in 2012. Each year, the academic strength of the student body and the faculty exceeded the record set the previous year.

Alabama’s athletics programs likewise have excelled in recent years with four teams winning national championships in 2011-2012. Athletics Director Mal Moore lauds Dr. Bonner’s commitment to athletics as well as academics. “Dr. Bonner has long been a supporter of Alabama athletics and I am excited about her leadership of our great University. We have a unique unity on our campus, a special bond between our athletics program and the University at-large. Dr. Bonner’s leadership will only serve to enhance that relationship and the unity that has been such a vital part of our athletics and academic success over these many years,” Moore said.

Dr. Bonner joined the faculty at The University of Alabama in 1981 as associate professor and head of the department of human nutrition and hospitality. She served as assistant academic vice president from 1985-1990 and as special assistant to the president from 1989-1991. Promoted to professor in 1988, she was named dean of the College of Human Environmental Sciences in 1989 and held that position until 2003. Prior to coming to UA, she held faculty appointments in the department of pediatrics at UAB and the department of medical dietetics at The Ohio State University.

Dr. Bonner earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from The University of Alabama and her Ph.D. from The Ohio State University, all in nutrition. Her research, focused on nutritional needs of chronically ill children and on eating disorders, has resulted in numerous publications.

Dr. Bonner is an active member of civic, scienti c and professional organizations. Among other awards and honors, her accolades include the Distinguished Alumni Award from The Ohio State University, the AHEA Leader Award and the award for Outstanding Dietitian for the state of Alabama.

Cauley and Hamrick also garnered Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-American Scholar honors in 2011 and Hamrick became a two-time honoree in 2012. Whitsett became the first men’s golfer from Alabama to be honored with the NCAA Elite 89 Award, given to the competing player with the highest GPA at the NCAA Championships. Alabama’s Matthew Swan was named to the 2009 Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars Team. The Crimson Tide also had five golfers named to the 2009 SEC Academic Honor Roll (Hamrick, Matt Hughes, Slat-ton, Swan, and Weaver). In 2008, the Tide golfers again won the athletic department’s award for the men’s team with the highest GPA. Sykora was one of six Crimson Tide golfers named Academic All-SEC in 2008, along with Mark Harrell, Matt Hughes, Ben Moody, Swan and Stewart Whitt. Standing out in the classroom and playing a year-long sport is a feat not easily achieved. Golfers contend with a season that starts in early September and continues through the first week in June with the NCAA championships. Despite those demands, Alabama has produced 106 Academic All-SEC golfers since 1985. Joseph Joyner was the first Tide golfer to be named to the Academic All-SEC Honor Roll. In 2004 when the SEC began its Fresh-man Academic Honor Roll, since that time, the Crimson Tide have had 11 players honored. Encouraging academic success is as much a part of Alabama’s coaching mantra as winning championships. Celebrating academic success is also a priority. Six Tide men’s golfers have received Alabama’s highest-academic honor for an athlete, The Bryant Award. Michael Thompson is the most recent of the winners, taking the trophy in 2008. The award is announced each spring and is given to the top male and top female student-athlete at the University, placing emphasis on athletic achievement, academic achievement and leadership. Dicky Pride, Marten Olander, Dan Mutert, Allan MacDonald and Thompson are the men’s golfers who have won the Bryant Award. Olander, an All-American on the golf course and a four-time Academic All-American, won the Ben Hogan Award in 1993. Pride is a PGA Tour player. Seawell and assistant coach Rob Bradley work closely with the Center for Academic Student Services. Former Tide golfer Lance Walker is an assistant on that staff. CASS monitors the academic progress of each athlete who wears a Crimson Tide uniform and advises the athletes on areas of study that best suit their capabilities and dreams. Study hall is required for all freshmen and for any athletes whose grades aren’t Academic All-SEC worthy. Jon Dever is Alabama’s Assistant Athletics Director for Student Services. The CASS Center is located in the Bryant Academic Center, as is the Champs’ Lifeskills program. The Bryant Academics Center, which houses the CASS staff and is a frequent stop in the daily lives of Ala-bama’s student-athletes, is the crown jewel in the Alabama athletic department’s Crimson Tradition Fund facility enhancement campaign. The renovation project at Bryant Hall was completed for $10.3 million in 2005. “This project has been priority one since we started the renovations of our athletic facilities,” said UA athletics director Mal Moore. “Academics are at the center of our mission at Alabama and we wanted to create a place that would aid all our student-athletes in their educational pursuits. I feel very strongly that Bryant Hall will benefit every student-athlete, not just during their years at Alabama, but for a lifetime.” Among the building’s many amenities is a 48-seat computer lab equipped with brand-new equipment. The computer lab has 25 laptop computers available for student-athletes to check out and use on team road trips. The building features math, English and writing labs along with 40 individual study rooms. A pair of 50-seat classrooms and a 140-seat lecture hall are also available. The lobby of the building showcases the Crimson Tide Academic Hall of Fame with plaques recognizing all of Alabama’s Academic All-American selections.

JERRY PATE NATIONAL INTERCOLLEGIATE

JERRY PATE NATIONAL INTERCOLLEGIATE Each October, 12 of the nation’s best men’s college golf teams gather in Vestavia Hills, Ala., for the University of Alabama’s annual Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate. In addition to welcoming a premier eld for this elite event, the tournament annually raises some $20,000 for charities. The host and tournament namesake Jerry Pate, is the most successful professional golfer to have worn the Crimson and White. The former Tide golfer and current Champions Tour player proudly lends his name and plays an active role — from team selection to presenting the awards trophies. Pate and Alabama have hosted this event since 1986. Originally the tournament was held in Pate’s hometown of Pensacola, Fla. He moved the tournament in 1992 to Birmingham’s Shoal Creek where it remained for ve years. In 1997, the JPNI moved to its current home, the Old Overton Club. The strength of the JPNI eld makes it a premier team fall gathering. Even the selection committee is a powerful one. The tournament’s selection committee has included PGA greats Arnold Palmer, Ben Crenshaw and Mark McCormack. The committee seeks the highest-ranked teams from the previous season that are expected to again be in the national title hunt. In the fall of 2004 Georgia nished fourth at the JPNI but went on that spring to win the NCAA title. The 1995 JPNI champion Arizona State, won the (spring) 1996 NCAA Championship while fall 1997 JPNI participant UNLV didn’t win the JPNI, but went on to win the 1998 NCAA title. The 1994 eld included all of the top nine team from the 1994 NCAA Championships, including National Champion, and 1994 Jerry Pate champion, Stanford, which was led by 1994 U.S. Amateur Champion Tiger Woods. Woods was also the 1994 JPNI medalist. Other prominent medalists have included LSU’s David Tomas (1988), Arizona’s Rory Sabbatini (1997), Georgia Tech’s Bryce Molder (2000), Oklahoma State’s Hunter Mahan (2001) and Wake Forest’s Bill Haas (2002) Alabama has experienced recent success in the Jerry Pate National Intercollegaite, winning four of the past six years. The Crimson Tide has also seen four players capture medalist honors over the years, including David Kirkpatrick in 1991, Joseph Sykora in 2006, Mark Harrell in 2007 and Hunter Hamrick in 2009.

Each May, the NCAA hosts six regionals, which are spread around the country and provide for exciting golf from coast to coast. The six-regional format was started at the 2009 NCAA Championships and replaced the old three-regional system that began play in 1992 when the NCAA rst instituted a regional format. Each of the six 2013 regional sites will qualify ve teams for the NCAA Championship Finals, being held at the Capital City Club in Atlanta, Ga. on May 28-June 2, 2013. Those 30 teams will then play 54 holes of stroke play, with the individual champion being declared at that point. The top-eight teams after the 54 holes of stroke play then will move on to match play and are seeded according to their nish in the stroke-play por-tion. The No. 1 team will face the No. 8 team, No. 2 will face No. 7, No. 3 vs. No. 6 and No. 4 vs. No. 5. The team that wins three rounds of match play will be crowned the national champion. Teams are selected for regional competition based upon their overall tournament nishes and head-to-head nishes against other teams that are in their region. Selection is made by a regional committee compro-mised of head coaches. From 1989 through the 2008 NCAA Championships, the nals consisted of 72 holes of play with a cut after 54 holes to the top-15 teams.
