Hear from Head Coach Justin Fetcho
"We are ready to get out and compete again. We've had a chance to work on some of our areas of improvement in the last several days and I'm excited with what I have been seeing from this group. If we can stay committed to our process and remain disciplined for this entire tournament, then I expect it to be a great event for us. "
The Course
Gateway National offers St. Louis golfers the rare opportunity to return to the rich traditions of the game. Rolling links, separated by gentle mounds, meander through lush, green pasturelands. Tall grasses, lakes, wood-tie bunkers, and occasional giant cottonwoods complete the landscape. In view of the magnificent Gateway Arch, you will cross occasional stone bridges, glide on raised boardwalks through quiet wetlands, and enjoy play on the only public St. Louis golf course with bentgrass fairways within hundreds of miles. The course is a par 71 with a total distance of 7,016 feet.
Participating Teams
The field of 15 teams features SIU Edwardsville hosting Bradley, Idaho, Green Bay, New Orleans, Southeastern Louisiana, Lindenwood, Southern Indiana, Weber State, Missouri State, Nebraska Omaha, Southern Illinois, Samford, Murray State, and Eastern Illinois
Tournament Schedule
The 54-hole tournament opens with two rounds on Monday starting at 8:30 am and the final round on Tuesday at 8:30 am.
