Action set for May 17-19 at The Sagamore Club, hosted by Ball State and Hamilton County Sports Authority
INDIANAPOLIS -- Fifth-ranked Texas, the runner-up in the most recent national championship in 2019, headlines the field for the 2021 NCAA Men's Golf Noblesville Regional, which will be played May 17-19 at The Sagamore Club.
The field of 13 teams and 10 individuals was announced Wednesday afternoon on Golf Channel. Ball State is hosting the Regional in conjunction with the Hamilton County Sports Authority and The Sagamore Club. Texas is the top seed in Noblesville, while North Carolina, Tennessee and North Florida round out the top four seeds. Those teams are all ranked among the top 20 in the country.
The field also features some of the nation's top-ranked players, including No. 2 Nick Gabrelcik of North Florida, No. 4 Pierceson Coody of Texas, No. 15 Pontus Nyholm of Campbell and No. 24 Cole Hammer of Texas. Hammer, the Big 12 individual champion, has twice qualified for the U.S. Open -- last year at Winged Foot and in 2015 at Chambers Bay where, at age 15, he was the third-youngest ever to compete in the event.
Sagamore will also feature some local flavor with three players from teams in the state of Indiana claiming individual spots in the field. Butler's Michael Cascino is in by virtue of winning the Big East individual title, while Purdue's Joe Weiler and Cole Bradley earned at-large berths.
The Sagamore Club is a par-72, 7,173-yard Jack Nicklaus Signature design. The club previously hosted an NCAA Division I Men's Golf Regional in 2015 with Illinois and SMU sharing the title. Now-major champion Bryson DeChambeau led SMU that year just weeks before winning the individual national championship. Sagamore was also the site of the 2010 NCAA Division II Men's Golf National Championships.
Sagamore is one of six Regional sites across the country along with The Champions Course in Albuquerque, New Mexico (host New Mexico), Golden Eagle Golf & Country Club in Tallahassee, Florida (host Florida State), Golf Club of Tennessee in King Springs, Tennessee (host Vanderbilt), Karsten Creek Golf Club in Stillwater, Oklahoma (host Oklahoma State) and Tumblecreek Golf Club in Cle Elum, Washington (host Washington).
The top five teams from each regional, along with the top individual not associated with one of those teams, will advance to the National Championships, May 28-June 2 at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona.
