Today's Crimson Tide Schedule:

Men's golf: Chapel Hill NCAA Regional in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Crimson Tide Results:

Men's Golf: Alabama's men's team could only play roughly 40 minutes of its third round at the NCAA Chapel Hill Regional on Tuesday due to inclement weather. The regional schedule was rearranged due to the threat of severe weather this week causing teams to play round one and two on Monday. The Crimson Tide was able to finish both rounds on Monday, but not every team did, meaning several teams were on the course at 6:30 a.m. on Tuesday to finish second-round action. The third round began at 10 a.m. but the Crimson Tide could only play just a few holes before the weather halted play suspending the third round.

The Tide will resume play in seventh place with a 7-under par 553 (276-277), sitting four shots behind fifth place. The third round is scheduled to resume at 6:30 a.m. CT Wednesday.
