NORMAL, Ill. – The Illinois State men's golf team will begin its final tournament of the fall season, when the Georgetown Intercollegiate tees off at the Members Club at Four Streams Golf Course Monday. The Intercollegiate will feature two rounds Monday (36 holes) and the final round (18 holes) Tuesday. The first two rounds will begin with an 8 a.m., shotgun start and the final round will begin with tee times on the 7,100 yard, par-71 course.
Head coach Ray Kralis discusses his expectations for the final tournament of the fall season.
"While we'll need to stay focused on the process versus the outcome, it would be nice to go into the off season with a strong team effort. We recognize the importance of our pre-round preparation and want to make that a little bit sharper so we can get out of the gate quicker and build some positive momentum early in the rounds," Kralis said. "That will be an emphasis, as well as eliminating momentum busters due to unforced errors that have plagued us. Cleaning those things up would be a step in the right direction for us."
The Redbirds lineup will consist of freshman Trent Wallace, sophomore Zach Burry, senior Tyler Gentilella, as well as juniors Christian Crabill, and Kyle Meihofer.
Illinois State will compete against Brown, DePaul, Georgetown, Princeton, Richmond, Rhode Island, St. Joseph's, Temple, United States Naval Academy, Weber State, and William and Mary.
Monday's rounds begin with an 8 a.m. shotgun start, while Tuesday's third and final round will begin at 8 a.m.
