BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — WKU Hilltopper Golf will face stiff competition in its final regular-season tournament, teeing off in a strong field at Purdue's Boilermaker Invitational this weekend.
Â
WKU will be one of 17 programs competing Saturday and Sunday at the par-72, 7,465-yard Kampen Golf Course in West Lafayette, Ind.
Â
The tournament features nine teams ranked in the GolfStat Top 100, including six in the top 75 and three in the top 40.
Â
The first two rounds will take place Saturday beginning at 8 a.m. CT with a shotgun start, with the final round to follow Sunday.
Â
The Hilltoppers are in the midst of a busy stretch to wind down the season, having just tied for fifth as a team Tuesday at Lipscomb's Ryman Hospitality Intercollegiate in Nashville, Tenn.
Â
WKU finished two strokes out of third place in the event and was within three shots of eventual team champion Rice through 11 holes on the final day.
Â
Junior Stuart Easton led the Hilltoppers with a sixth-place finish, while redshirt junior Billy Tom Sargent and redshirt sophomore Linus Lo also placed in the top 20 individually.
Â
Those three will be joined once again at Purdue by sophomore Tom Bevington and freshman Crimson Callahan.
Â
This is the final event before WKU competes in the Conference USA Championship on April 22-25 in Texarkana, Ark.
