OU women's golf earns No. 6 seed at NCAA Norman Regional
Oklahoma women's golf will be a No. 6 seed for the NCAA Norman Regional at Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club.

Only the top five teams will advance to the NCAA Championships, along with the lowest scoring golfer not on a qualifying team. The championships will be held at Omni La Costa Resort in Carlsbad, California on May 16-21.
'We can't wait to take the course in front of our friends, family, and fans, it's huge for us,' head coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell said in a press release from the school. 'The postseason feels like an entirely new chapter, and we're determined to step up and perform at the level we know we're capable of.'
The Sooners are looking for their first NCAA Championship berth since 2018. That year also marked the program's last tournament win coming into the season, before the Sooners broke through to secure the Paradise Invitational title in February.
They finished with a team score of -28 (836), which is the lowest 54-hole score in program history.

The win sparked a run of five straight top-five finishes heading into the SEC Championship. Junior Gracie Mayo and freshman Audrey Rischer each picked up victories during that stretch.
Savannah Barber leads the team in scoring average at 73.44 with a top-five and two, top-10's.
Jimmie Austin hosted NCAA Regionals in 2013 and 2019, and has hosted men's regionals three times. It's hosted a men's or women's regional in three of the last four seasons.
