Anchor Drop, May 19, 2022: Golf Wins Regional, Again

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt men’s golf is headed back to the NCAA Championship after dominating the Palm Beach Regional to the tune of finishing 12 shots ahead of second-place Florida State. The Commodores will now advance to next week’s NCAA Championship, the program’s eighth straight appearance. This was also the second year in a row that Vanderbilt has won a regional.

Baseball closes out the regular season with a three-game series against LSU starting tonight at the Hawk. In the span of a couple of weeks, we’ve gone from Chris Lee saying out loud that Vanderbilt might not make a regional to Vanderbilt being in decent shape to host a regional. Game 1 will be tonight at 7 PM CT on ESPN2.
