PREVIEW: Men’s Golf Tees Off at Trinity Forest Invitational

DALLAS – Coming off its second straight Top-Two finish, the University of Houston Men's Golf program continues its fall slate when it tees off at the Trinity Forest Invitational on Sunday morning.

The Cougars will play 54 holes with 18 holes scheduled each day through Tuesday on the 7,617-yard, par-72 course at Trinity Forest Golf Club.

In its most recent action, the Cougars posted a score of 19-under 845 for a second-place showing at the Bayou City Collegiate Classic at Westwood Golf Club in Houston on Tuesday.

It marked the first time that Houston finished among the Top-Two leaders in each of their first two tournaments to open a season since the 1984-85 NCAA national champion team won its first four events.

Junior Grant Doggett posted three straight rounds in the 60s – including a First-Round 66 – to capture the first title of his collegiate career with a score of 15-under 201. The Beach City, Texas, native set tournaments records for low score to par (-15), low 54-hole score (201) and margin of victory (7 strokes).

Making his collegiate debut, freshman Jayk Altic finished third with a score of 7-under 209, thanks to a 67 in the First Round. Sophomore Hsuan-Yi Chen joined them among the Top-10 individual leaders.

Earlier this season, Houston used a record-setting day to sweep the team and individual championships at season-opening Argent Financial Classic at Squire Creek Country Club in Choudrant, La., on Sept. 7-9.

The Cougars used a school-record low round of 23-under 265 to finish with a three-day score of 32-under 832 and win by six strokes over South Alabama.

Senior Hudson Weibel fired his third straight round in the 60s on the way to a bogey-free 66 and tied with Louisiana's Malan Potgieter at 13-under 275 through 54 holes. On the second hole of the playoff, Weibel holed out an eagle from 123 yards out to capture the first title of his collegiate career.
