Update: Barrett -6 overall after a second-round 70. Tied for 12th. Halfway home.
Update 2: Barrett -7 after round 3 of 4. T16.

TCU men earn the 6 seed in the Stockton (CA) Regional, held at The Reserve at Spanos Park, May 14-16.
Regional field includes the following teams (Golfweek/Sagarin ranking in parentheses):
1. LSU (6)
2. Alabama (7)
3. Stanford (13)
4. USC (21)
5. Oregon (37)
6. TCU (32)
7. Colorado (44)
8. Kansas (42)
9. Kennesaw State (56)
10. Iowa State (54)
11. North Carolina-Greensboro (91)
12. UC Irvine (130)
13. North Dakota State (181)
Top 5 teams and one low individual not on those teams qualify for NCAA championship tournament in Stillwater, May 25-30.
It's not a hugely intimidating region at the top, but the field includes several teams that have played well of late. LSU won the SEC title as the 6 seed (they moved up from 11 to 6 in rankings as a result). Colorado was runner-up in the PAC 12 tournament as the 8 seed. Iowa State led the Big 12 championship for two days as the 8 seed before finishing fourth (which probably pushed them to the right side of the bubble).
Frogs are quite capable of advancing. I think they'll also enjoy the opportunity to test themselves against the NCAA's top-ranked individual player, USC's Justin Suh.

Julien Brun leads the Challenge de Espana on the European Challenge Tour (comparable to the Web.com Tour in the U.S.), shooting 69-66 (-9) for a two-shot lead at the halfway point. He made 8 birdies in round two to shoot to the top of the leaderboard.
Edit: Brun's post-round interview: http://www.europeantour.com/videoaudio/video/videoid=346762.html#
Fellow Frog Paul Barjon is T12 at -3. Not bad considering it's a 156-player field.
Update: In Round 3, Brun got to -13 and a three-stroke lead before bogeying the last four holes to finish even for the day. He trails two players by a shot and is tied with another. Barjon also shot even and is T22 going into the final round.

Nice video feature on lpga.com about Angela Stanford's charity tournament and its cause of helping kids with cancer. Worth 3 minutes to watch. Last line: "Besides, we want as many Horned Frogs out there as possible."

Angela also among the Texas-based pros interviewed during the pre-tournament presser:

Edit: Go to 12:30 to hear Angela's advice to fellow Frog Annika Clark as the TCU senior gets a taste of LPGA competition this week.

TCU alum Chelso Barrett shoots a final-round 70 to finish T10 at the Mackenzie Tour Q School and earn exemption into the first four events of this summer's tour.
The Mackenzie Tour is akin to AA in baseball.Top finishers on the Canadian tour qualify for the following years Web.com tour.
Barrett shoots 68-70-71-70, which comfortably placed him inside the top 30 who gained status. Congrats!

LPGA.com with a nice feature on TCU junior Annika Clark, playing in this week's VOA LPGA Texas Classic.
http://www.lpga.com/news/2018-living-proof-of-annika-and-karrie-impact
Photo of Annika repping TCU at Old American:
Annika and playing partners Natalie Gulbis and Emily Pedersen were among the first groups out on Thursday and got three holes in before the weather delay. Those scores were wiped out and the round re-started yesterday for all players.
Article gets Annika's first-round score wrong--she shot +5, not +6. With the weather, the event has been reduced to 36 holes.

In Spain, Brun slips to T7 with a final-round 74. Nice finish (should be worth about $6,000), but at -13 through 50 holes, disappointing to wind up -7. Barjon finished T38.
At The Colony, Annika Clark shoots 76-78 in the VOA LPGA Texas Classic. In Round 1, she beat playing partner Natalie Gulbis by a shot.
On Monday, Greta Bruner begins play in the NCAA Austin Regional as an individual qualifier. Follow progress here: http://results.golfstat.com/public/leaderboards/gsnav.cfm?pg=player&tid=15149

Greta Bruner shoots +3 in the opening round of the Austin Regional. At T47, she is right in the middle of the 96-player field. Two more days of play to go.

TCU women's golf season came to a close today. Greta Bruner had a potentially great round (-3 at the turn) derailed by a triple bogey. She still shot her best score of the week (74) and finished regional competition in the middle of the pack at +10.
Weird story--a virus going around UT-Austin Golf Club put several players and coaches in the hospital. A coach from Colorado State is apparently still hospitalized. Among teams, East Carolina had four players affected and was unable to post a second-round team score. Rumor is that someone dipped a towel in an on-course water cooler.
