The DU men’s golf team will participate in the NCAA regional playoffs as a No. 11 seed in Stillwater, Okla., May 14-16 announced the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Committee news last Tuesday.

Oklahoma State University is going to be the host golf course for the event. 

Denver will compete in a very tough field that includes No.1 seed Big 12 champion Oklahoma State University, No. 3 seed Mountain West Conference Champion Texan Christian University and No. 5 seed Southern Conference Champion Chattanooga.

In the Sun Belt Conference championships, the Pioneer men posted a 2-over par 872, six strokes behind SBC Champion Middle Tennessee.

Denver was led by Espen Kolfsted in the SBC tournament and the team will likely turn to him and Daniel wax to lead the Pioneers to an NCAA Championship bid. 

This marks the seventh straight time that the DU Pioneers have been selected to take part in the NCAA Regional Championships. 

Last season, Denver advanced as a No. 25 seed finishing in 23rd place.  Denver hopes to improve upon last year’s effort.  A total of 13 teams and 10 individuals will be competing in the Oklahoma State Regional.

The top five teams and the top individual not competing with a team from each regional site will advance to the NCAA Championships in Toledo, Ohio, May 26-30.

The NCAA championships will be hosted by the University of Toledo in Ohio.
