INDIANAPOLIS - Two-time BIG EAST Conference medalist Hunter Eichhorn of Marquette University has been selected to compete in the Columbus Regional of the 2022 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships on May 16-18 at Ohio State Golf Club.
Eichhorn, who will be making his fourth appearance in an NCAA regional, is the top-seeded individual in the region. Oklahoma State, Georgia Tech and Arkansas are the top three teams in the regional.
The Carney, Michigan native earned co-medalist honors at last year's BIG EAST Championship and won a conference title as a freshman in 2018 to earn the league's automatic individual NCAA berth. He also competed with the rest of his Marquette teammates in the NCAA Austin Regional in 2019.
Eichhorn and M Club Hall of Famer Mike Van Sickle are the only MU golfers to earn a pair of at-large bids to regionals - Van Sickle was selected in 2007 and 2009 (he was a top-seeded player that season).
Thirteen teams and 10 individuals not on those teams will compete at each of three regionals while the other three regionals will have 14 teams and five individuals not on those teams. The top five teams and the low individual not on those teams from each regional will advance to the finals.
Team and individual medalist titles will be decided May 27-June 1 at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona. Arizona State and The Thunderbirds are the hosts for the 2022 championships.
