SIUE Intercollegiate Presented by Doubletree Hotels

This coming Monday and Tuesday we are hosting our first home event in 3 years as 8 division I golf teams are scheduled to compete at our home golf course, Sunset Hills Country Club.  Teams competing are SIUE, Missouri State, South Dakota, North Dakota, Eastern Illinois, SIU-Carbondale, Chicago State and Tennessee State. 

I have been keeping my eye on the weather for about 10 days and the forecast is getting better every day.  It looks like we may get a little rain tomorrow for the practice round, but Monday and Tuesday look pretty dry and warm! 

We will be sticking with the same starting lineup as we have had for the last two tournaments.  It will look like this:

1. Neal McCarty
2. Grant Wynia
3. Taylor Cox
4. Nick Nuzzo
5. Alex Knoll

We will be starting on holes 1-5 on Monday morning with a 8:15 shotgun start.  Remember that there is no admission charge and we would love all support on Monday and Tuesday as we want to close our fall season strong. 

We are coming off some great scores at last week's Austin Peay Intercollegiate where senior Neal McCarty shot a 10 under par 206 to get 6th place.  As a team we had 6 individual rounds under par as Freshman Taylor Cox shot a pair of 1 under par 71's and Freshman Grant Wynia also shot a first round 71.  I am checking the record books, but our first round 286 is the lowest round an SIUE team has shot in at least 4 years! 

Thanks again for the support and hope to see you out at Sunset Hills this week.
