MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee Men's Golf heads to Dallas to close out the fall portion of its 2021-22 schedule at the Trinity Forest Invitational. The Blue Raiders will take the same record-setting starting lineup they used at the JT Poston Invitational to the par-71, 7,330-yard course at Trinity Forest Golf Club, which hosted the AT&T Byron Nelson from 2018-2020.
The tournament starts at 8 a.m. Central on Monday with a shotgun start. The Blue Raiders will tee off from holes 10-13.
NOTES
- Middle Tennessee is coming off a second-place finish at Western Carolina's JT Poston Invitational last week in which it set a program record in the first round for the lowest team round at 268 (-16). Nick Wolf also tied the school record and broke the tournament record for the lowest individual round at 63 (-8) in the first.
