As a result of the finish, UA's overall head-to-head record improved to 46-45-1 on the season which moved the Tide over the .500 mark and eligible for postseason play. Alabama will have to finish in the top half of the SEC Championships (April 20-24) to be considered for NCAA Regional play.

Coach Seawell Comments
"I am really proud of our guys. They responded on a day that we desperately needed to have a good round. When our team is focused, we're good. We have to learn how to do that every day, every hole, every shot. We have proved we can play with the best teams in the country, but we just need to be more consistent. We needed that performance because it put us over the .500 mark going into SECs which was big. Now we have to take care of business there so we can get into NCAA Regionals, which we are hosting. I am proud of how responded. Hopefully this is something we can build off of as we go after a championship in a few weeks."

As a result of the finish, UA's overall head-to-head record improved to 46-45-1 on the season which moved the Tide over the .500 mark and eligible for postseason play. Alabama will have to finish in the top half of the SEC Championships (April 20-24) to be considered for NCAA Regional play.
Junior Canon Claycomb continued his hot spring season, leading the Crimson Tide for the third time in four events by recording a 6-under par 210 (73-70-67) which placed him 11th overall. He posted three birdies and an eagle in Sunday's final round on the par-72, 7,086-yard Forest Hills Country Club track, resulting in a 5-under par 67 – his team-leading ninth round in the 60s this season.
Sophomore JP Cave fired a final-round 69 to jump 13 spots up the leaderboard into 16th place. It was his second top-20 finish of the season and the sixth time he had a round in the 60s. The sophomore carded five birdies throughout Sunday's final round, finishing the tournament at 2-under par 214 (74-71-69).
Coach Seawell Comments
"I am really proud of our guys. They responded on a day that we desperately needed to have a good round. When our team is focused, we're good. We have to learn how to do that every day, every hole, every shot. We have proved we can play with the best teams in the country, but we just need to be more consistent. We needed that performance because it put us over the .500 mark going into SECs which was big. Now we have to take care of business there so we can get into NCAA Regionals, which we are hosting. I am proud of how responded. Hopefully this is something we can build off of as we go after a championship in a few weeks."

Ninth-Ranked Alabama Women’s Golf Prepares for 2022 SEC Championship in Birmingham
The Crimson Tide will compete at the Greystone Golf and Country Club Legacy Course April 13-17
After a grueling regular season that included four fall events and four spring events, the No. 9 University of Alabama women's golf team will at last compete in the 2022 Southeastern Conference Women's Golf Championship at the Greystone Golf and Country Club Legacy Course (par 72, 6,331 yards) in Birmingham, Ala., April 13-17.
The Crimson Tide is one of 14 teams in the field that features nine teams in Golfstat's Top 25 – No. 3 South Carolina, No. 9 Alabama, No. 10 Florida, No. 11 Texas A&M, No. 14 LSU, No. 19 Arkansas, No. 20 Auburn, No. 22 Kentucky, No. 23 Ole Miss, Georgia, Mississippi State, Missouri, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.
Alabama will tee off hole No. 1 Wednesday at 9:40 a.m. CT paired with the Gamecocks and the Gators.
All 14 teams will compete in a 54-hole, stroke-play format, which includes 18 holes Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Eight teams will advance to the match-play quarterfinals Saturday morning, while four teams will improve to the match-play semifinals Saturday afternoon. The final two teams will go head-to-head in the match-play finals on Easter Sunday.
The team championship will be awarded to the winners of match play, while the individual medalist and runner up will be awarded based on stroke play.
Alabama has won the SEC Women's Golf Championship on three occasions (2010, 2013, 2016) and has finished runner up on six occasions. The Crimson Tide has produced one individual medalist Stephanie Meadow in 2013.
All three of UA's team titles and three of its six runner-up finishes have come in the last 12 years under head coach Mic Potter.
Last season, Alabama finished in seventh place in the stroke-play competition on a 14-under-par 850. It reached the semifinals of the match-play competition, falling to eventual-champions Auburn, 3-1-1.
The Crimson Tide can expect some incoming weather to begin this year's event, with chances of rain and thunderstorms Wednesday and Thursday. The skies are expected to be sunny with a high of 78 degrees Friday, followed by a chance of more rain throughout the weekend.
From Head Coach Mic Potter
"We are always excited to begin the postseason with the SEC Championship at Greystone Golf and Country Club Legacy Course in Birmingham. We love the golf course and the people at Greystone, and we have always felt very comfortable there. We have had a solid year so far and are looking forward to continued improvement and the opportunity to compete for championships in the postseason."
