McKee, a sophomore, is from Spring, Texas. Gastelum is from Ciudad Chihuahua, Mexico, and Chanachai, a senior, is from Bangkok, Thailand.
NCAA Regionals feature 54 holes of stroke play spread across three days of action. Along with Stanford, the host sites for this year's NCAA Regionals are: Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Columbus, Ohio; and Louisville, Kentucky.
