CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Queens University of Charlotte men's golf team will make its fifth ever NCAA Championship appearance Thursday in round one of the 2022 NCAA Super Regional held at Kinderlou Forrest Golf Club in Valdosta, Ga.
The Royals won the South Atlantic Conference Championship by 12 strokes claiming their second title in the last three completed conference tournaments to receive the automatic bid to the NCAA Super Regional.
Led by top three finishes by Drake Wilcox and Ollie Smith, Queens shattered several program team records including a new low 18-hole team score of 274 in round two and a low 54-hole team score of 837. Wilcox placed second in the individual rankings finishing at -14 to set a new program record score to par.
All five Royals in the lineup will make their first ever appearance at the NCAA Championships as Queens aims to build on its late season surge. Thursday's lineup is listed below.
1. Ollie Smith
2. Drake Wilcox
3. Casey Osiecki
4. Clayson Good
5. Brock Hlinak
"I'm so proud of this group", said Queens Head Men's Golf Coach, Andrew Serketich. "We are very excited about earning a spot at the NCAA South/Southeast Regional this week. It is always a main team goal to qualify for postseason play and I'm really happy for the guys that they get to experience it. It will be the first NCAA Regional for all five of these guys (2 juniors, 3 sophomores), which is awesome. They are in good form and we can't wait to get down there!"
Queens was awarded the ninth seed of the esteemed Southeast Region featuring three additional South Atlantic Conference teams including Carson-Newman, Lincoln Memorial, and Limestone.
"We are 1 of 16 top 25 ranked teams (via Golfstat rankings) and the couple of others rounding out the field are just outside the top 25", Serketich added. "Our region is loaded with great teams. Finishing in the top six to move on to the National Championship is achievable but it will require us to be at a high level. We'll give everything we have to move on and again. I'm excited to see our guys compete this week."
The Super Regional will take place Thursday through Saturday, May 5-7. The first Royal is scheduled to tee-off on Thursday at 8:20 a.m.
