"I am very excited to get back into tournament play" Head Coach Mark McEntire said. "After being around the players the last few weeks since they have been back on campus I know that they are looking forward to it as well.
"This is a great golf course we are playing on this week, one that will require patience where pars will be really good. It will be a unique pairing as we will be playing with our own team. It will allow me to see very shot from our team which I have never been able to do in my career. I expect to see some nerves but look for the experienced guys to step up and have a good week for us."
