Bulldogs Open Bryan Regional In Fourth
May 16, 2022 | Men's Golf
BRYAN, Texas --- The third-seeded and 12th-ranked Georgia men's golf team opened the NCAA Bryan Regional in fourth place on Monday.
Playing Traditions Club's par-72, 7,146-yard layout, the Bulldogs posted a 7-under 281. Arizona snagged the first-round lead at 12-under 276, followed by Pepperdine at 9-under 279, host Texas A&M at 8-under 280, Georgia, and Oregon State at 3-under 285.
Following three rounds, the top five teams from the Regional will advance to the 30-team field for the NCAA Championships in Scottsdale, Ariz., May 27-June 1.Â
Senior Trent Phillips, who last week became the first player in school history to garner First-Team All-SEC honors all four seasons, paced the Bulldogs on Monday. He registered a clean card with four birdies to land at 4-under 68, pushing his team-high total in the 60s to 15 this year. Phillips is third, three shy of Chase Sienkiewicz of Arizona.
Maxwell Ford, a member of the SEC's All-Freshman Team, followed Phillips at 3-under 69. Ford was 2-over after four holes, but he rallied with six of his seven birdies over the final 14 to wind up in seventh.
Junior Ben van Wyk carded a 2-under 70, which was good enough for 11th, and freshman Buck Brumlow added a 2-over 74. Junior Nicolas Cassidy had Georgia's non-counting loop of 4-over 76.
The NCAA Bryan Regional will continue on Tuesday and will conclude on Wednesday. The Bulldogs will tee off on Tuesday between 9 and 9:44 a.m. and will be paired with Oregon State and SMU.
Georgia is appearing in a Regional for the 26th straight and 32nd in 33 seasons. The Bulldogs have played in a Regional 25 times under Coach Chris Haack (excluding 2020 when the postseason was canceled) and have made it to the NCAAs 20 times. Haack led the Bulldogs to the 1999 and 2005 national titles, to runner-up finishes in 2007 and 2011, and to the national semifinals in 2015.
