SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – The 19^th-ranked Texas A&M women's golf team is set to make its first NCAA Championships appearance since 2015 at the par-72, 6,383-yard Grayhawk Golf Club May 20-25.

"We are excited to be here," head coach Gerrod Chadwell said. "There was a relief and a peace to us getting through regionals. Now we get to turn it loose. This is everybody's last week out here. We were able to walk the course yesterday and see that it is in phenomenal shape. I can't wait to hit some shots today and see how the course is reacting."

The Format
The first section of the tournament will begin with 54 holes of stroke play Friday through Sunday, after which the top 15 teams out of the 24 in the field and nine individuals not on an advancing team will advance to the next stage. On Monday, a final 18 holes of stroke play will be played where the top eight teams advance to match play, as well as the 72-hole individual champion will be crowned.

The team national champion will be crowned through match-play format with teams seeded 1-8 based on stroke play results. The quarterfinals and semifinals take place Tuesday, while the championship match is scheduled for Wednesday.

The Lineup
Chadwell's lineup features Adela Cernousek, Hailee Cooper, Jennie Park, Blanca Fernández García-Poggio and Zoe Slaughter. Fernández García-Poggio earned All-SEC First Team honors and leads the team with a 71.85 stroke average. Every member of the Aggie lineup has logged a top-10 finish this season, including a runner-up performance at the Franklin Regional from Park.

Last Time Out
The Maroon & White pulled off a stunning six-stroke comeback in the final round behind Park's 8-under 208 and Slaughter's 7-under 65 in round three. Texas A&M shot 5-under 283 at the regional to advance to the NCAA Championship.
