BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — WKU Hilltopper Golf competes in its first team event of the spring this week at South Alabama's Mobile Sports Authority Intercollegiate.
Â
The Hilltoppers will be 1 of 15 programs participating Monday and Tuesday at the par-72, 7,212-yard Magnolia Grove Crossings Golf Course in Mobile, Ala.
Â
Teams will play 36 holes Monday beginning with an 8 a.m. CT shotgun start. The final round will start at 8 a.m. Tuesday with tee times.
Â
Redshirt senior Billy Tom Sargent, senior Stuart Easton, redshirt junior Linus Lo, junior Tom Bevington and redshirt freshman Dawson McDaniel will compete for WKU this week.
Â
The Hilltoppers took a portion of their roster to an individual event at Georgia Southern last week, but the South Alabama tournament begins the spring slate in earnest.
Â
"We left Kennesaw in the fall as a hungry team," WKU head coach Chan Metts said. "We had some guys capitalize on that with some success in a few events during the break. Last week was a great start to our spring, and we are hoping to use that momentum at South Alabama's event. We have a lot of guys in the lineup that are familiar with this course, so that helps as well."
Â
WKU finished third in a 16-team field last year in the Mobile Sports Authority Intercollegiate, shooting 6 under as a team. Sargent placed third individually.
