NCAA Championship: Match play field, pairings set for 2023 men’s quarterfinals
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The men’s individual national champion has been crowned, which means one thing: it’s time for match play.
North Carolina is the top seed in match play, finishing at 6 under. The Tar Heels will face Arizona State, which topped Stanford on the second playoff hole for the final match play spot. The Sun Devils made the match play final last year, falling to Texas.
The top-seeded team has won the title only once (Oklahoma State, 2018).
The quarterfinals are set to begin on Tuesday morning and the semifinals to follow in the afternoon. On Wednesday, and the final. (Note: all times ET, which is three hours ahead of Scottsdale).
