Women’s Golf to Compete in NCAA San Antonio Regional

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The New Mexico women’s golf team will travel to Texas this week for the NCAA San Antonio Regional. The event will run Monday-Wednesday at the 6,420-yard, par-72 TPC San Antonio, home of the Valero Texas Open on the PGA Tour.

The tournament will consist of one round per day, beginning on Monday. Live scoring of the event will be on GolfStat.com.

The Lobos earned an automatic bid into the NCAA Regionals as the Mountain West Champion. The 12 teams competing in the San Antonio Regional are Texas A&M, Auburn, Pepperdine, Oklahoma State, SMU, UCLA, New Mexico, Denver, Illinois, Sam Houston, Louisiana-Monroe and Missouri State. The top five teams at the regional will advance to the NCAA Championships, held May 19-24 in Scottsdale, Ariz. The top individual (not on advancing teams) will also advance to the NCAA Championships.

The Lobos are making their 24th NCAA Regional appearance since the format was adopted in 1993, having advanced to the NCAA Championships in nine of those years. UNM finished 15th in the 2021 Columbus Regional in their last appearance as a team. Last season, Jenny Lertsadwattana and Lauren Lehigh competed as individuals as New Mexico hosted the Albuquerque Regional. New Mexico last advanced to the NCAA Championships in 2010, their 15th overall NCAA Championship appearance.

New Mexico’s lineup for the event is Napat “Jenny” Lertsadwattana, Lauren Lehigh, Myah McDonald, Maria Caparros Levin, and Lisa-Marie Pagliano. Annie Saechueng is the alternate in the lineup.

The Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio opened in 2010 and has hosted the PGA Tour’s Valero Texas Open since that year. This year marks the first time the course has hosted a NCAA Regional.
