LUBBOCK, Texas - The 2017 Pac-12 Champion UCLA Bruins earned the top seed at the Lubbock NCAA Regional, as announced Thursday on Golf Channel, and will begin their postseason journey May 8-10 at The Rawls Course.

The Bruins, who took over the top spot in the latest Golfweek rankings following their sixth conference title, are one of four Pac-12 teams at the 18-team Regional site, as #2-seed and fourth-ranked Arizona State, #12-seed and 42nd-ranked Oregon and #14-seed and 58th-ranked Oregon State also head to the Lone Star State. The other 14 teams heading to Lubbock include #3-seed Furman (#9 Golfweek ranking), #4 Kent State (#16), #5 Texas (#22), #6 Oklahoma (#25), #7 BYU (#39), #8 San Diego State (#30), #9 Texas Tech (#27), #10 TCU (#35), #11 UNLV (#33), #13 Iowa State (#46), #15 Murray State (#77), #16 Georgetown (#117), #17 Richmond (#152) and #18 Sacred Heart (#186).

A total of 72 teams made the NCAA Regionals at four different sites in Lubbock, Texas, Columbus, Ohio, Athens, Georgia and Albuquerque, New Mexico. The top six teams from each Regional (54 holes of stroke play) will advance to the NCAA Championships in Sugar Grove, Ill. (May 19-24).

The Bruins have advanced out of the NCAA Regionals a school-record, 16-consecutive times, including eight wins (2014, 2012, 2011, 2009, 2008, 2005, 2004, 2002). It is the third-straight trip to the Lone Star State for the Bruins in Regional competition. UCLA finished third at last year's Bryan Regional and second at the San Antonio Regional in 2015.
