Louisville earned an at-large bid for its fifth-consecutive regional championship appearance and plays at TPC Harding Park, a par-72, 6,369-yard course that hosted The Presidents Cup in 2009. The 18-team field consists of seven top-30 programs, including No. 1 UCLA, No. 5 Stanford, and No. 9 South Carolina.
Louisville is advancing to its 11th NCAA Regional, its first on the West Coast, in program history. The Cardinals have captured three tournament titles, with three additional top-five finishes.
