Georgia Southern will compete for the Sun Belt's automatic bid to the NCAA Regional when the Eagles travel to Sandestin, Fla., for the Sun Belt Championship, which starts Sunday, April 21.

The Sun Belt champion will be determined by match play for the fourth straight season. The teams play 18 holes Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, and the top-4 teams advance to match play Wednesday. The top seed will take on the fourth seed, and No. 2 will meet No. 3 in a morning session with the winners squaring off in the afternoon. 

The event will be held at the Raven Golf Club for the fifth straight season. The Eagles won the title in 2015, their first year in the league, and lost in the match play finals in each of the last two seasons. Steven Fisk and Jake Storey tied for first with two others on the individual leaderboard in 2017, and Fisk prevailed in a playoff to win medalist honors. Fisk tied for ninth last year, and Storey tied for third.

GS has won three tournaments this season and finished in the top-5 five times. The Eagles placed 14th in their last event, the Mason Rudolph Championship, and Fisk tied for eighth for his 22nd career top-10 finish. The field featured five teams in the top-45, including fourth-ranked Vanderbilt, which hosted the tournament, and 12 individuals in the top-100.

Fisk will be making his 44th career start for the Eagles this weekend, while Ben Carr makes his 10th start in the lineup. Brett Barron makes his 25th career start and has been in the lineup in the last four tournaments, and Jake Maples makes his fourth start this spring. Colin Bowles, a mid-year transfer from Ohio State, will make his Georgia Southern debut.

Bowles won the Georgia State Amateur in 2016, becoming the youngest to win the tournament since Bobby Jones in 1916. Barron won the tournament last summer, giving the Eagles two Georgia State Am winners in their lineup this week.

The Eagles are paired with Coastal Carolina and Arkansas State for the first two rounds of the tournament. GS will tee off the first hole Sunday at 9:15 a.m. ET, and the Eagles tee off the 10th hole Monday at 9:15 a.m. ET.
