Oakbourne Country Club | Lafayette, Louisiana
The North Texas men's golf team is set to return to action on a quick turnaround after competing last week in the Trinity Forest Invitational.
THE EVENT: Oakbourne Country Club will play at 6,866 yards, and will be a par-72 course for the tournament. The two-day event begins Monday with 36 holes and concludes with the final round on Tuesday. There will be tee times beginning at 7:30 a.m., from Holes 1 and 10 for Tuesday's final round, while Monday's action will begin with a shotgun start at 8 a.m.
ON THE TUBE: Tuesday's final round will be televised on ESPN+ beginning at 9:30 a.m., with Dan McDonald on play-by-play and Gerald Broussard serving as the color analyst.
THE FIELD: There are 14 teams participating in the tournament (rankings are from the latest GolfStat poll): No. 5 Illinois, Illinois State, Louisiana, Louisiana-Monroe, McNeese State, Michigan, Missouri-Kansas City, No. 38 North Texas, Oral Roberts, Rice, No. 49 Sam Houston State, Southern Illinois, Texas State and UTEP.
REPRESENTING UNT: Competing for the Mean Green will be Lenny Bergsson, Vicente Marzilio, Nikhil Gopal, Viktor Forslund and Sean Wilcox.
RESULTS: Live results will be posted on GolfStat.com. Full recaps from each day of competition will be posted on MeanGreenSports.com at the end of each round.
LAST TIME OUT: North Texas finished eighth at the Trinity Forest Invitational last week. In that tournament, Lenny Bergsson finished T-17, and Vicente Marzilio and Nikhil Gopal tied for 20th. It was Gopal's debut with the Mean Green.
INTERNATIONAL FLAVOR: The Mean Green feature seven international players this year. Lenny Bergsson (Iceland), Viktor Forslund (Sweden), Nikhil Gopal (South Africa), Zak Karkaletsos (Spain), Diego Prone (Argentina), Vicente Marzilio (Argentina) and Hiroki Miya (New Zealand) round out the international players.
STRACKE SAYS: "We are looking forward to getting back into tournament mode. The more competitive rounds we can get, the better this team will play."
UP NEXT: North Texas will have travel to Pearland, in the Houston area, to play in the Bayou City Collegiate Classic on April 5-6.
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 had not previously had at its disposal.
