PROVO — The BYU men's golf team's advancement to the NCAA Championship this week for the first time in the match-play era created a scheduling dilemma because, as per school policy, the Cougars don't compete on Sunday in any sports.

The third round of stroke-play qualifying is scheduled for Sunday, May 27.

But tournament officials are making an accommodation for BYU as part of the NCAA's so-called "Sunday Play" rule. The NCAA must accommodate schools that don't compete on certain days for religious reasons.

Finals play consists of three days of stroke play on Friday, May 25, through Sunday, May 27, after which the top 15 teams will be determined.
