COLLEGE PARK, MD – Sophomore Emil Riegger of the Maryland men’s golf team is set to make his mark at the NCAA Regionals this week. The Amherst Regional, hosted by Liberty, takes place from May 11-14 at the Poplar Grove Golf Club in Amherst, Virginia, with the first round commencing Sunday afternoon due to expected inclement weather.
This regional will consist of six 54-hole tournaments, featuring 13 teams and 10 individuals at each of three events, while the remaining three will include 14 teams and five individuals each.
