The men’s golf team will compete in the River Landing Collegiate today through Sunday in Wallace, N.C. The 54-hole tournament is held at the River Course (par-72, 6,942 yards) at River Landing. This weekend’s competition is the last the Jayhawks will compete in before the Big 12 Championship on April 25 to 27.
“We are looking forward to playing in the event,” said coach Kit Grove in a press release on Wednesday. “It is a solid field and the weather should be good, which should make for a fun tournament.”
Currently, Hopfinger and Barbee are ranked No. 16 in the nation, according to Golfstat.com’s NCAA Division 1 freshman class impact ranking.
“It has started to look like things are coming together for us,” Hopfinger said. “Hopefully we can finish strong at these last two because they’re very hard tournaments.”
Also competing for the Jayhawks are juniors Walt Koelbel and Zach Pederson. Sophomore Patrick Roth will round-out the Jayhawks lineup.
