INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR: The Mean Green feature seven international players this year, including some key freshmen who are expected to contribute immediately. Lenny Bergsson (Iceland), Viktor Forslund (Sweden), Cameron Harlock (New Zealand), Zak Karkaletsos (Spain), Alejandro Madariaga (Mexico), Hiroki Miya (New Zealand) and Kristof Ulenaers (Belgium) round out the international players.
STRACKE SAYS: "We will be playing at The Classic Club for the first time," UNT head coach Brad Stracke said. "We're looking forward to some good weather and hopefully some great golf."
UP NEXT: The Mean Green will take a few weeks off before returning to action in Lafayette, Louisiana, to play in the Louisiana Classics on March 16-17.
HOME SWEET MARIDOE: North Texas enjoys its home course - the Maridoe Golf Club in Carrollton. The course opened to members in July 2017 and gives the Mean Green a state-of-the-art home course with world-class facilities, including a fully-dedicated practice facility, complete with a two-ended driving range to account for many varying wind conditions, a sprawling three-acre short game retreat and indoor facilities with state-of-the-art hitting bays that provide tools the program has not yet had at its disposal.
