Kansas men’s golf will travel to Bloomington, Indiana, to participate in the Hoosier Collegiate Invitational at the Pfau Golf Course on April 18 and 19. The event marks the end of the regular season for the team.
The tournament is considered important preparation for upcoming championship play. Kansas coach Jamie Bermel said on April 17 that “The Hoosier Collegiate is a big event and great preparation for the Big 12 Championship. We get to play on a really good golf course and I’m certain we will get some weather as well.”
Kansas enters the competition following a fifth-place finish at the Hootie Intercollegiate, which was their fourth consecutive top five result this season. The field includes fifteen teams: Ball State, Illinois, Indiana (the host), Little Rock, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Northern Illinois, Northwestern, Ohio State, Purdue, Rutgers, Toledo, Wisconsin and Kansas.
Bermel’s lineup consists of seniors Will King and Luke Honner; junior Will Baker; sophomore Hartej Grewal; freshman Arthur Carlier; with junior Noah Holtzman competing as an individual. The Jayhawks are scheduled to tee off at 8:45 a.m. Central Time alongside Illinois, Little Rock and Ohio State in a shotgun start format—36 holes on Saturday followed by 18 holes on Sunday.
“Our guys have had a good weekend of preparation, and everyone should be rested and ready to go,” Bermel said. “We have a good pairing in the first two rounds with Illinois, Ohio State and Arkansas-Little Rock.” Fans can follow live scoring via an online scoreboard or receive updates from Kansas Men’s Golf’s official Twitter account.
