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.
Last week, the NCAA Lubbock Regional and the NCAA Norman Regional began Sunday because of weather, with the Lubbock Regional able to complete play Tuesday evening while the Norman Regional wrapped up Wednesday morning.
LSU is the top seed at the Amherst Regional, with fellow SEC teams OU and Vanderbilt rounding out the top three. The Commodores will be without Gordon Sargent this week, as the soon-to-be PGA Tour player is not in the lineup or listed as a substitute player.
