Jayhawks Receive At-Large Bid to NCAA Regionals for Third-Consecutive Year
4/23/2025 1:21:00 PM | Women's Golf
LAWRENCE, Kan. – For just the fourth time in program history—and the third consecutive year—the Kansas Women's Golf team has earned an at-large selection to the NCAA Regional Championship, announced Wednesday afternoon on the Golf Channel.
Led by fourth-year head coach Lindsay Kuhle, the Jayhawks will make their third consecutive NCAA Regional appearance, competing in Columbus, Ohio, from May 5-7.
Kansas enters NCAA Regional play as the No. 4 seed in the 12-team Columbus Regional and will play at the OSU Golf Club. For KU, this marks the highest NCAA Regional seed in school history. Kansas was the 14-seed in 2014, the 9-seed in 2023 and the 9-seed in 2024.
"We're excited. We've had probably one of the best seasons in program history," said Kuhle. "To get the opportunity to play again and to play for a national championship, we're just beyond thrilled, and this is everything we work for. I know the course plays long. It's a beautiful area and I've never been to Ohio State, so we have some research to do in preparing the team. New opportunities, new experiences, and we're just ecstatic around here and thrilled to go."
The Columbus Regional consists of 1. Arkansas; 2. LSU; 3. Ohio State (host); 4. KANSAS; 5. Houston; 6. SMU; 7. UNLV; 8. Illinois; 9. Kent State; 10. Illinois State; 11. Xavier; and 12. Oakland.
Kansas has previously received at-large bids to the NCAA Regionals in 2014, 2023 and 2024. The 2014 squad placed fifth in the Stillwater Regional and advanced to the NCAA Championship in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the Jayhawks finished 24th. In 2023, the Jayhawks finished eighth at the Athens Regional, and last season, they placed sixth in the Cle Elum Regional.
"I think we have learned a lot in the last two regional championships we played in," Kuhle added. "We learned how to handle pressure and how to handle every shot. We talk about that all year round, but it's really apparent when it's a competitive field. This year, we really made it a goal to try and finish in the top five of every tournament that we played in, and treat every tournament we played in like the regional championship, so we feel prepared."
Ranked No. 23 in the latest Scoreboard Clippd standings, Kansas has seven Top 3 finishes in 2024-25 and has won a program single-season record five team titles. Through 10 events, Kansas has compiled a 286.80 scoring average.
Before the NCAA implemented regional play, Kansas earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Championship in 1990 after winning the Big Eight Conference Tournament. KU would go on to finished 14th in the 1990 NCAA Championship. In addition to team appearances, KU has had several individuals compete in the NCAA Regionals: Holly Reynolds (1993, 1994), Amanda Costner (2006), Emily Powers (2008), Yupaporn Kawinpakorn (2015, 2016), and Pornvipa Sakdee (2016). Kawinpakorn and Sakdee were also key members of the 2014 NCAA Regional and Championship team, along with Thanuttra Boonraksasat, Minami Levonowich, and Meghan Potee.
Regional play will take place May 5-7 at six regional sites, with 396 participants and each site featuring 12 teams and six individuals. The top five teams (30 teams total) and the low individual not on an advancing team (six individuals total) from each regional site will advance to compete in the national championships to be played May 16-21 at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, California.
In just her fourth season at Kansas, Kuhle has the Jayhawks in the NCAA Regional for the fourth time in school history and in three consecutive seasons. This is Kuhle's 22nd NCAA Regional with 18 as a coach and four as a student-athlete at Tulane (2002-05).
