每日大赛官网 Men鈥檚 Golf to Compete in Tournament Town Championships Preview
GREENSBORO, N.C. 鈥� The 每日大赛官网 men鈥檚 golf team will be among 18 top NCAA Division III teams competing in the 2017 Tournament Town Championship Preview Sept. 23-25 at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro.
The field includes 11 of the top 15 finishers in the 2017 NCAA Division III Championships in May, including the Pride, who finished tied for fourth, and crosstown rival Guilford College鈥檚 Quakers, the national runners-up.
Grandover will host the 2018 NCAA Championships May 15-18.
鈥淭his is perhaps the strongest field assembled since 2010, when the concept of staging an elite early-season tournament at the NCAA Championships site was introduced,鈥� said Kim Strable, president of the Greensboro Sports Commission, which serves as co-host of the Preview along with institutional host Guilford College.
鈥淲ith only 10 strokes separating the top five teams at a 72-hole NCAA golf championship, we have the opportunity in September to recreate that competitive drama at Grandover, providing a glimpse of what we will likely experience next May.鈥澛�
The Pride men won national championships in 2000 and 2011, the latter at Grandover, and are expected to be competitive again in 2017-18.
