South Carolina, Duke, Wake Forest and LSU earned top seeds for the upcoming NCAA Division I Women’s Golf Regionals, which get underway at four sites beginning on May 10.

The top-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks, the tournament’s overall No. 1 seed, will head up the Louisville Regional at the University of Louisville Golf Club in Simpsonville, Ky. Second-ranked Duke, which has won 10 NCAA Championships, headlines the Columbus Regional, which will be held at the demanding Scarlett Course at the Ohio State Golf Club. Wake Forest, ranked third by Golfstat.com, will travel west where it will be the top-seed in a stacked Stanford Regional, while fourth-ranked LSU will stay at home to host the Baton Rouge Regional at the David Toms-designed University Club.

A total of 72 teams, including 26 automatic qualifiers from various conferences and 46 at-large teams, along with 24 individual competitors, will compete at the four regional sites beginning on May 10. The top six teams from each regional, along with the top three individual competitors from non-advancing teams, will earn spots in the championship finals, scheduled for May 21-26 at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. The final three days of the championships will be televised by the GOLF Channel.

The Gamecocks, led by SEC individual champion Pauline Roussin-Bouchard, won a program best four tournaments this season and finished no lower than third in any of its events. Under the direction of 36-year head coach Dan Brooks, Duke has won three tournaments on the season, including last week’s ACC Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, NC. The Demon Deacons, which won two events and a pair of individual titles during the regular season, will look to regain some momentum following a semifinal loss to Florida State in the semifinals of the ACC Championships. Behind sophomore Ingrid Lindblad, AmateurGolf.com’s top-ranked female amateur in the world, the Tigers will be making their 26th regional appearance and will try to take advantage of familiar surroundings on their home course, the University Club.

"I think if you look at all the regional sites, the NCAA selection committee did a great job of spreading everybody out evenly, as far as placement of ranked teams, teams close to regional sites and teams sent across the country," said LSU third-year head coach Garrett Runion told lsusports.net. "Looking at our site, being the No. 1 seed is nice. It has been a goal of ours since the beginning of the season and gives us a lot of confidence."
