Sophomore Steven Fisk earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships by winning the conference's individual medalist honors in a playoff. Fisk became the ninth Eagle to win a conference individual title and the second in the Eagles' three-year stint in the Sun Belt. Kim Koivu outdueled teammate Scott Wolfes to win in 2015, and similarly, Fisk had to outlast teammate Jake Storey and two others in a 4-way playoff.

It's the second appearance in the NCAA Championships under head coach Carter Collins and the seventh in Collins' 11 seasons on the coaching staff.

It's Georgia Southern's seventh NCAA Championship appearance in the last nine seasons. The Eagles placed 10th at the Noblesville Regional at Sagamore Club in their last appearance in 2015. Georgia Southern won the SoCon Tournament in 2011 and 2014, the Sun Belt Tournament in 2015 and received at-large bids in 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2017. Georgia Southern made six consecutive NCAA Championship appearances from 2001-06.

The Eagles will compete at the par-71, 7,355-yard UT Golf Club. It's the second time Georgia Southern has played in an NCAA Regional in the state of Texas in the last four years. GS finished eighth at Branch Riggs Golf Club in San Antonio in 2014.
