Difficult season makes postseason uncertain

The Kansas men’s golf team is sitting on the edge of postseason eligibility.

The team will find out Monday morning when the NCAA makes its selections for regionals.

The Jayhawks have endured a rough spring, but were able to bounce back from their early-season struggles to finish eighth in the Big 12 Championship last month. The team comes into the selection process ranked 107th in the golfweek.com national rankings.

On the individual side of golfing, junior Gary Woodland will likely make the trip to regionals. Woodland finished in a tie for seventh at the Big 12 Championship and was named to the All-Big 12 team last week.

The NCAA regionals are split into three sites, meaning the players would travel to Florida, Ohio or Arizona to compete from May 18-20.
