NCAA Men's Championship: Round 4Stanford, Lovemark win NCAA titles: Stanford ran away from the field in the

under par, 12 shots better than Georgia. Southern Cal freshman Jamie
Lovemark, who closed with a pair of 64s, was the individual medalist.
Lovemark sweeps GCAA awards: Southern California freshman Jamie Lovemark was named national Freshman of the year and Player of the Year.
NCAA Men's Championship: Round 3
Stanford, Coastal set for final-round clash: S
tanford and Rob Grube (pictured) are
looking to return to their glory days. Coastal Carolina just wants its
first NCAA Championship. They’ve separated themselves from the pack at
the NCAA Championship. The individual race will be a knock-out,
drag-out brawl.
Schachner flirts with 59 at NCAAs: The 59 watch was on Friday at the NCAA
Division I Men’s Championship. Duke’s Michael Schachner was 11
under through 14 holes at the par-70 Golden Horseshoe’s Gold Course. He
shot 60, but still made history.

NCAA Men's Championship: Round 2Stanford right on target in NCAAs: The NCAA didn't think much of the Cardinal, giving it just the 12th seed in the finals. But Stanford is proving people wrong, maintaining its first-round lead. Minnesota is a surprising challenger, guided by individual leader Bronson LaCassie.

NCAA Men's Championship: Round 1Charlotte speeds up on slow opening day: On a day where the greens were slow and the pace was slower in the first round of the NCAA Men's Championship, upstart Charlotte continued its rapid rise.
Balicki: High five: College golf is a team effort, all the way down to the No. 5 player. Don't believe columnist Ron Balicki? Just check out the first-day leaderboard.

Notes: Maiden voyage for Hankins: The number of new teams to the NCAAs seem to be dwindling each year, but Michigan State and coach Mark Hankins are making some noise in their rookie appaearance.
PreviewFinals fantasy: UF eyes another title: We know two things. One: With a high-powered field and a course set up for high scores, whoever hoists the trophy in Williamsburg will have earned it. Two: The Gators have some good mojo coming in.
NCAAs go old school at Golden Horseshoe: Bombers beware! The track for the NCAA finals was built before you were born, and the Robert Trent Jones Sr. layout has some tricks you might not be expecting.
PredictionsRon Balicki says this could be the most competitive NCAA finals ever, with every team in the field inside the top 50 in the
Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings. He also says that the Georgia Bulldogs owe him.

NCAA Men's Regionals wrap-ups: Final
East: Seniors set pace for Georgia: Georgia, No. 1 in the
Golfweek/Sagarin College Rankings, won the
East Regional by 12 shots, thanks in large part to its seniors. Brendon Todd shared medalist honors with Florida's Billy Horschel, while Chris Kirk finished third. Ron Balicki reports.
Cental: Tulsa surprise 'Bama with win: Led by Nicolas Geyger, seventh-seeded Tulsa hung on to win the Central Regional by three shots over top-ranked Alabama. Defending
NCAA champion Oklahoma State is also going to the Big Dance despite a
struggling Pablo Martin. Jeff Rude reports.
West: South Carolina, Vandy impress: South Carolina shocked UCLA to win the West Regional, but they weren't the only SEC team to play well in the Arizona desert. Vanderbilt finished fifth to also grab an NCAA Championship berth. Arizona State's Benjamin Alvarado was medalist. Lance Ringler reports.
NCAA Men's Regionals wrap-ups: Day 2
South Carolina shocking West: South Carolina hasn’t won this year, but that doesn’t seem to matter. The Gamecocks are one shot out of the lead at the West Regional after firing the low round of the day Friday, a 19-under 269. Three players – including Warren Thomas – shot 67.
Central: Tulsa on the move, Cowboys struggle: Jeff Rude is in Sugar Grove, Ill., and reports on Tulsa's surge up the leaderboard at the
Central Regional. Meanwhile, Oklahoma State went the other way and is just a stroke inside the cut line with a shot at the national championship on the line.
East: Auburn no longer in question: We've seen two Auburn teams this year. The better one has shown up at the
East Regional, where the Tigers shot second round best 4-under-par 284 Friday at the Golf Club of Georgia. Auburn, No. 28 in the
Golfweek/Sagarin Rankings, is third and in the running to capture its first regional title since 1990.
NCAA Men's Regionals wrap-ups: Day 1Cinderella looks good to Leathernecks: Despite being ranked No. 154 by
Golfweek, Western Illinois is eyeing a spot in the finals. The Leathernecks are squarely in the mix in the
Central Regional, which is playing on the brutal, windy Rich Harvest Farms. Jeff Rude reports.
East: Emotional Hokies struggling early: Co-ACC champion Virigina Tech is still riding a wave of emotions at the
East Regional. The Hokies struggled in the first round and are 20 shots off the pace set by leader Georgia Tech. Ron Balicki reports.
West: Johnson back for Oregon State: Vincent Johnson, fresh off a win at the PGA Minority Collegiate Championship, is playing for the Beavers despite suffering from Graves' Disease. Oregon State is tied for tenth at the
West Regional, while UCLA set a blistering pace at Karsten Golf Course and leads by five shots. Lance Ringler reports.
Regional previews:
• The Golf Club of Georgia will be gnashing its teeth once again. Georgia, Clemson and sentimental favorites Virgina Tech and Duke will teeing it up in the East Regional.
• Alabama is the top seed, but Lamar has the highest Golfweek/Sagarin ranking in the field. But Oklahoma State will also be on hand, eyeing its seventh title in the Central Regional.
• Led by star-studded Stanford, nine of Golfweek's top 22 teams and Golfweek's top three individuals in the nation will all be at the Karsten Golf Course. It should be a wild, wild West Regional.

• Duke's dynasty: Three in a row: It wasn’t even close. Again. Duke won its
third consecutive national championship in convincing fashion, a
15-shot victory over Purdue. Arkansas’ Stacy Lewis had a final-round 66
to earn medalist honors over Purdue’s Christel Boeljon and USC’s Paola
Moreno.
