ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The University of New Mexico men’s golf team will close out its fall season heading south to Dallas, Texas, for Baylor’s Royal Oaks Intercollegiate this Monday and Tuesday (Oct. 24-25). An 11-team field will play 54 holes over the two-day event held at the Royal Oaks Country Club. Playing in the unique 6-count-5 format, the field will open with 36 holes on Monday and a final 18 on Tuesday. The course will be set up for a par 71 and 7,068 yards.
UNM is looking to improve on last week’s performance at the Tavistock Collegiate Invitational where the team finished 11th behind the strong performance of Andrej Bevins, who noticed his second top-15 performance of the year’s Fall segment.
There are 11 teams participating in the 2016 Royal Oaks Intercollegiate: Baylor (host), Charlotte, Houston, Iowa, Kent State, Michigan, Minnesota, New Mexico, Pepperdine, SMU and UT Arlington. Each team will have six players competing in the lineup. The ninth-annual Royal Oaks Intercollegiate is utilizing the 6-count-5 format for the second time in three years.
UNM was to close the 2015 fall season at the Royal Oaks Intercollegiate, however, heavy rain, unplayable course conditions, and potential flooding resulting from effects of Hurricane Patricia forced its cancellation.
The Lobos are set to tee off on the back nine tomorrow. The team’s tee order is Andrej Bevins, Andre Garcia, Gustavo Morantes, Sam Kim, Sean Carlon, and Sam Dickey who will be joined by members of Michigan, Minnesota and SMU for the first 36.
