NOTES
LAST TIME OUT: The University of North Alabama men's golf team completed the Myrtle Beach Golf Trips Intercollegiate tournament held in Myrtle Beach, S.C. on Tuesday in 16th place. The Lions finished at 24-over for the three rounds to total an 888 team score. Sophomore Jedd Brady showed his veteran leadership, as he shot the first under par round of the weekend for any Lion at three-under. The Lions' starting lineup consisted of three sophomores in Brady, Luke Davis and transfer Lucas Latimer alongside two freshmen in Hedliden and Jack Morris. UNA started on the 10th hole for the third consecutive day at the Grande Dunes Golf Club. The Lions had 11 birdies today to total out at 48 for the three rounds played. Brady had a 34 scorecard through his first nine holes before a 35 on the final nine played. Davis was the lone other Lion to shoot under par on a set of nine holes with his 34 on his final nine. Hedliden earned a two-over day to follow behind Brady. Davis closed out a four-over final round before Latimer and Morris tied at 14-over.
THE BREAKDOWN: Wake Forest and ETSU are hosting the tournament that will see 16 programs over two days. The tournament follows a split tee time start from the first and 10th holes. The course is a par 72 and spans 7,490 yards with a tee time of 8 a.m. CT.
THE FIELD: A total of 16 teams will participate in this tournament. Three Power Four programs in Maryland, Indiana and host school Wake Forest headline this tournament. Other programs include Toledo, Coastal Carolina, Louisiana, Eastern Michigan, Western Carolina, ETSU, Charleston and Southern Illinois, among others.
MAKE SOME (ILLI)NOISE: The Lions have never competed in an Illinois-based tournament according to available records. However, the team did compete in a tournament hosted by the University of Illinois Springfield in a different location. In both 2014 and 2015, North Alabama competed in the University of Illinois Springfield Tournament during the fall seasons, and while hosted by UIS, the tournament was played in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. North Alabama won the team crown in 2014 and was the first runner-up in 2015.
