Two-day, 54-hole event free and open to public at Golf Club of Houston in Humble, Texas
HOUSTON – For the first time in more than two years, the University of Houston Men's Golf continues its spring season when it plays host to the All-American Intercollegiate at Golf Club of Houston.
Houston will face a 17-team field against student-athletes from Abilene Christian, Arkansas State, Baylor, Florida State, Georgia State, Lamar, Louisiana, Louisiana Tech, Mississippi State, New Mexico State, North Texas, Rice, Sam Houston State, Texas State, ULM and UTSA.
Teams will play 36 holes Monday with an 8 a.m., split-tee start off No. 1 and No. 10 with the final 18 holes to begin at 8 a.m., Tuesday in a split-tee start.
The event is free and open to the public, which is invited to attend.
Houston enters the All-American Intercollegiate after finishing fifth at the Louisiana Classics at Oakbourne Country Club on March 21-22 in Lafayette, La. Junior Marcus Wochner and senior Alexander Frances each finished under par with Wochner tying for 13th at 5-under 211 to lead the Cougars.
WELCOME BACK
The Cougars were set and ready to host the All-American Intercollegiate in 2021, but severe winter weather forced the cancellation of the event.
In the 2020 All-American Intercollegiate, Sam Houston State swept the team and individual titles. The Bearkats won the team title by four strokes over Wake Forest and were led by Jack Randle, who posted a score of 11-under 205.
