Rams Receive NCAA Invite
CSU headed to West Regional in Albuquerque, N.M.
May 6, 2002 FORT COLLINS, Colo - For a record-setting seventh year in a row, Colorado State University's men's golf team has been invited to the NCAA Championships. Third-year coach Jamie Bermel's squad has tied the school record for most consecutive NCAA appearances - also held by the Rams' volleyball program - and set the record for men's sport programs when the team was invited to the 2002 tournament. "I'm excited that we're going, and thrilled for the players," said Bermel, whose team finished in a tie for fifth place in the MWC Championships. "It's exciting for the program, any time that you get in, and a tribute to the hard work of the players." Bermel's team will be one of five Mountain West Conference teams competing in the 27-team West Regional to be hosted by the University of New Mexico on the Lobos' University course, May 16-18. The Rams finished in a tie for fifth a week ago in the MWC Championships and feature the conference's individual title winner. Sophomore Martin Laird from Beardsden, U.K., finished with a four-under 212 to win individual honors. The Albuquerque site is one of three 27-team regionals. Each regional also includes six individual players. Ten teams and two individuals from each regional will advance to the NCAA Championships May 29-June at Ohio State University's Scarlet Course in Columbus, Ohio.
The East Regional will take place at the Ansley Golf Club's Setting'
Down Creek in Roswell, Ga., hosted by Georgia Tech. The Central
Regional is being played at the Pleasant Valley Country Club in Little
Rock, Ark., hosted by the University of Arkansas.
