LAREDO, Texas – The University of Houston Men's Golf program returns to action when it plays host to the Border Olympics at Laredo Country Club.
The two-day, 54-hole tournament will be played with 36 holes Monday with the Final Round teeing off Tuesday morning.
This was scheduled to be the second tournament Houston hosted during the spring season but the recent severe winter weather forced the cancellation of the All-American Intercollegiate on Feb. 14-16 at Golf Club of Houston.
