This weekend, April 11 and April 12, the men’s golf team will be in Columbus, Ohio for the Robert Kepler Intercollegiate. The event will last all day Saturday and Sunday and will be held at the Ohio State University Scarlet Golf Club.
The team will most likely be looking to improve from their most recent event, The Talis Park Challenge which was held in Naples, Florida on Mar. 15th and 16th. Where they finished in seventh place, tied with Xavier University.
This was a huge drop from the previous event, the Colleton River Collegiate which was held in Bluffton, South Carolina on March 9 and 10.
The team, as a whole, finished in third place with a 19-over par 883 (290-295-298). Losing to Tennesee who took first place, and Miami (OH) who took second.
Sophomore Sam Weatherhead won the Colleton River Collegiate though, which made him the second Spartan in a row to take the title.
After this weekend the team won’t have much time to rest as they’re expected in New Haven, Connecticut on April 18 and 19 for the Yale Spring Invitational.
Last year they were in West Lafayette, Indiana for the Boilermaker Invitational where they tied for eighth place on the first day of the tournament.
After the Yale Spring Invitational they have to look forward to the Big Ten Championships which will last from Friday April 24 through Sunday April 26.
The championship will be held in Newburgh, Indiana at the Victoria National Golf Club.
