AUBURN - The Auburn men's golf team tees off Thursday at the NCAA South Central Regional at the par-72, 7,250-yard Traditions Golf Club in Bryan, Texas.

Senior Cole Moreland will lead the Tigers in the No. 1 position at the three-day, 54-hole event. Sophomores Kyle Kopsick, Will McCurdy, John Stembridge and David Zickler will hold the Nos. 2 through 5 spots, respectively.

"You always go to play well and play to win," said Auburn head coach Nick Clinard. "We're not there to finish fifth. A win at regionals is always a tremendous achievement and a nice feather in the cap for the winning players.

"Priority one since the SEC Championships was the classroom. Since finals we've had a little time to relax and reflect on the season while working on our individual strengths as we prepare for the final stretch."
