Starting Monday, the Men's Golf Team tees it up at the Ford River and Golf Club in Richmond Hill, Ga. The course is a Par 72, Pete Dye design that can play as long as 7409 yards. These guys sure get to play some outstanding courses. The inaugural 2 Day, 54 hole tournament comprises one of the smaller fields you'll see with only 8 teams plus individuals instead of the usual 12-16 teams .
The Field
#39 Notre Dame
#43 Wake Forest
#73 Michigan
#80 RUTGERS
#85 Utah
#93 Michigan State
#106 Wisconsin
#108 Georgia Southern
This is the 2nd tourney in a row RU faces Michigan, Michigan's Hunter Thompson was the Individual Champion the last time, shooting an 8 Under 64 in the final round to win by 2 strokes. It is also the 1st of 3 tourneys in a row RU and Mich St will be in the field. This is the 3rd time RU's Martin Leon faces his former Utah teammates. In all RU has already faced all of the field except perhaps Ga Southern this season. Ga Southern is on the schedule again later this season as are a couple of the others.
Rutgers hasn't posted their lineup but appears they will have their regular 5 member team and at least 1 playing as an individual.
EDIT: Meant to add current B1G Rankings out of 306 D1 programs.....
#20 Illinois
#28 Ohio State
#32 Purdue
#38 Northwestern
#46 Indiana
#73 Michigan
#80 RUTGERS
#89 Minnesota
#93 Michigan State
