Sooners No. 9 Seed in Albuquerque Regional

April 27, 2022 | Women's Golf

NORMAN – The Oklahoma women's golf team has been selected to compete in the NCAA Albuquerque Regional May 9-11 at The Championship Course at UNM.

The Sooners are making their fifth consecutive regional appearance and 10th in the last 11 seasons under OU head women's golf coach Veronique Drouin-Luttrell.

"Anytime you get to continue your season it is exciting," said Drouin-Luttrell. "Ryan (Sirman) and I know The Championship Course at UNM and we are very grateful we are have that knowledge of the course."

Oklahoma was selected as a No. 9 seed in the Albuquerque Regional. Fellow Big 12 foes Texas (No. 3) and TCU (No. 6) will also be making the trip to New Mexico and Oregon earned the No. 1 seed.

"It is a brand new season, and whatever happened this season is now in the past," statedĀ Drouin-Luttrell. "We have three rounds of golf to continue our season."

OU has advanced from the regional into the NCAA Championship four times since 2009, including three top-10 national finishes from 2012-2014.

The Sooners competed in the 2021 Columbus Regional and finished seventh. OU barely missed a chance to advance to the NCAA Championship, falling one spot behind and three strokes back of Kent State and Michigan.

Hannah Screen and Kaitlin Milligan led the Sooners in Columbus. Each fired a 4-over 220 and tied for 13th.

"It is huge to have four players that have experience playing in a regional last season back on this team," Drouin-Luttrell said. "We came up short last season and now they know what to expect. Our goal is to go play good golf for three days and see where we are at the end."

Screen, Mikhaela Fortuna, Libby Winans and Maria Fernanda Martinez all competed in last season's regional.
