Bayou City Collegiate Classic
Westwood Golf Club | Pearland, Texas
The North Texas men's golf team is set to return to action playing a new golf course in the Bayou City Collegiate Classic, hosted by Houston, Rice and Sam Houston State.
THE EVENT: Westwood Golf Club will play at 7,184 yards, and will be a par-72 course for the tournament. The two-day event begins Monday with 36 holes and a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m., and concludes with the final round on Tuesday with tee times from Holes 1 and 10 beginning at 8 a.m.
THE FIELD: There are 15 teams participating in the tournament (rankings are from the latest GolfStat poll): Abilene Christian, No. 42 Arkansas State, Florida Atlantic, No. 49 Houston, Houston Baptist, Lamar, McNeese State, New Mexico State, Nicholls State, North Texas, Rice, Sam Houston, South Alabama, Texas State, No. 26 UTSA.
REPRESENTING UNT: Competing for the Mean Green will be Lenny Bergsson, Vicente Marzilio, Nikhil Gopal, Diego Prone 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 third at the Louisiana Classics in mid-March. In that tournament, Lenny Bergsson finished eighth, and Vicente Marzilio tied for ninth.
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 will be playing a new golf course for the Bayou City Collegiate Classic called Westwood Golf Club. I have heard great things about the course and look forward to competing."
UP NEXT: North Texas will have a quick turnaround and travel to Bryan, Texas, for the Aggie Invitational on April 9-11.
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.
