Almost forgot this was starting today- Go Buffs!
(Thanks to a Buffzone article (by Brian Howell, entitled "Aussie freshman duo playing key roles for CU women's golf") for the reminder - http://www.buffzone.com/other-cu-sports/ci_30971798/aussie-freshman-duo-playing-key-roles-cu-womens .)

The top 6 finishing teams at each regional, along with the top 3 individual finishers not on teams that qualify, make it to the NCAA Championships scheduled for May 19th-24th.

Cubuffs article issued right after the team was selected (With a lot of info on regional opponents, etc.) - http://www.cubuffs.com/news/2017/4/27/womens-golf-women-golfers-earn-ncaa-regional-invite.aspx

From that article-

...
Colorado is one of 18 teams slated to square off at OSU Golf Club's Scarlet Course in the 54-hole tournament format. A group of six golfers will also compete as individuals. One 18-hole round will be played each of the three days. The field does not include any other Pac-12 schools. The top seed Florida is currently the No. 4 ranked team in the country in the latest Golfstat poll. The field includes six teams in the top-25 including the No. 2 seed Florida State, No. 3 seed South Carolina, No. 4 seed Arkansas and the No. 6 seed in Texas A&M.

From the Pairings tab in the leaderboard linked to below, looks like the 1st Buff tees off for her 1st round at 8:24 AM today (Monday), assume Ohio/ Eastern time, so 6:24 AM MT.

90 minute frost delay this morning so the Buffs aren't on the course quite yet.
 
Looks like the Buffs survived rather than flourished today, but glad they're still iwell within site of a qualifying position. (Caught the leaderboard at ~ the half way point and they were near the bottom, but look to have played the back 9 much better than the 1st in what looks like (based on the scoring for EVERY team) brutal conditions.) Only 4 strokes out of the all important 6th qualifying spot with 2 rounds to go, so definitely still in it for a Championships berth.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The University of Colorado women's golf team is in 10th place after shooting 25-over par 313 in the opening round of the NCAA Columbus Regional here Monday afternoon.

The 20th-ranked Buffaloes fought against considerable wind conditions to stay in the top 10 after a slow start. Colorado started the morning on the No. 1 tee, struggled with some big numbers on the front nine. A steady wind and frost delay made the par 72 course play even longer than its already tough distance of 6,416 yards.

"Rough day for our team. Tough conditions," head coach Anne Kelly said "We didn't have our best stuff today, but the good news was Robyn [Choi] really finished strong. Brittany also played the back nine well. Although we didn't play well we still have a chance. We just have to play hard the next few days."

With the tough conditions, no team shot under par as No. 4 ranked Florida holds the lead with a 9-over 297. Florida State sits in second place at 11-over 299 while Purdue and Ohio State are tied for third at 14-over 302. Texas A&M rounds out the top-5 carding a 20-over 308.

...

The NCAA Regional continues Tuesday with the second round. The Buffs will tee-off from the first hole and are paired with Louisville and Wisconsin. Live scoring is available at GolfStat.com.

Edit- Per the pairings list, looks like the Buffs are scheduled to tee off from the 10th hole tomorrow, with the 1st CU player scheduled to start at 7:30 AM ET/ 5:30 AM MT.

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Freshman Kirsty Hodgkins and Senior Esther Lee rebounded from tough Monday performances to help the University of Colorado women's golf team move up one spot to ninth after two rounds of the Columbus Regional here Tuesday afternoon at the Scarlet Golf Course.

The No. 20th ranked Buffaloes shot an 11-over 299 on the day, 14 strokes better than Monday's first round. That score is the sixth best round of the day as all 18 teams in the field shot over par for the second-straight day on the par 72, 6,416 yard course.

"Overall team played better today," head coach Anne Kelly said. "Kirsty really came through with a very good round today. Brittany had a good day too despite a tough last hole. We have our work cut out for us tomorrow, but I feel confident this team can take on the challenge."
...

The NCAA Columbus Regional concludes Wednesday with the third and final round. The top six teams and three individuals who are not members of those squads will advance to the NCAA Championships, May 19-24 in Sugar Grove, Illinois. Live scoring is available at GolfStat.com.

Just looking at the leaderboard, the Buffs are 5 strokes back from the final (6th) qualifying spot, so definitely can still advance with a VERY good round tomorrow. In a "what might have been", looks like they were at +6 for the round going into their last hole, which would have had them tied them for the 6th spot going into the final round, but their scoring 4 went a combined +5 on that one (hole 9 for them since they started on 10).

Edit- for tomorrow's round, the pairings link on the leaderboard shows the Buffs as being part in the 1st group of schools teeing off from the 1st hole, starting at 7:30 AM ET, 5:30 AM MT.

Round 3 has started. Buffs are +5 thru 6-9. Pretty much holding position so far. Need to get to 6th and have a lot of work to do.

That first round score is what's killing them, but 7 strokes isn't too much to make up but they're running out of time.
 
Now only 6 strokes out

Now just 1 back of Purdue for 5th. This is coming down to the wire.

Keep an eye on Michigan as they are close enough with enough holes to play to make a run - but playing terrible so far today it appears.
 
Not sure if this is accurate, but now Buffs with only a 1 stroke lead
