Alabama, Georgia Tech, California headline NCAA men's D-I regional fields
Alabama doesn't have to travel far to begin its NCAA title defense in earnest.
The Crimson Tide, ranked No. 1 throughout the 2013-14 season in the Golf World/Nike Golf men's college coaches' poll, has just about a two-and-a-half hour drive to get to Auburn University Club and compete as the No. 1 seed in the Auburn Regional.

All six Regional tournaments will be held May 15-17 with the low five teams over 54 holes of stroke-play competition and low individual not on one of those teams advancing from each to the NCAA Championship, May 23-28 at Praire Dunes C.C. in Hutchinson, Kan.
The final three days of the NCAA Championship will be televised on the Golf Channel (May 26-28), showcasing the final round of the individual competition and then the three rounds of match play that will be used to determine the team champion.
