The Stillwater Regional, being played at the par-72, 6,303-yard course, continues with 18 holes on Tuesday and a final round on Wednesday.
The top four teams and top two individuals (not on an advancing team) qualify for the championships, which will be held for the second-straight year at Grayhawk Golf Club (Raptor Course) in Scottsdale, Ariz., from May 20-25.

The Spartans played alongside Auburn and Clemson in Monday's first round with temperatures in the low 90s and winds around 20 miles per hour.
Baylor, seeded third in the regional, took the first round lead with a 4-over par 292, with Clemson in second, one shot back at 5-over par 293, while top seeded Oklahoma State and third-seeded Arizona State are tied for third place at 8-over par 296. The Spartans sit seven shots back.
