AUBURN, Ala. – Just a week following a ninth place finish in a stacked field of teams at the USF Invitational, the Troy men's golf team will look to take advantage of in-state competition Monday and Tuesday at the 2013 Tiger Invitational.
The tournament will take place at the Grand National – Lake Course in Auburn, a par-72, 7,149-yard landscape. The first round will get underway Monday morning with an 8 a.m. shotgun start as play will continue with the second round in 36 continuous holes. Final round tee times are slated for 7:45 a.m. to 9:50 a.m. Tuesday morning.
The Trojans are coming off a tournament in Dade City, Fla., in which they closed out the final round with a team score 291, the third-lowest on the season. Jake Tucker was the lowest player for Troy after finishing tied for 14th, while Wil Clowdus carded multiple season bests with a tie for 25th.
Tolver Dozier enters the two-day event with a 74.60 stroke average and is looking to claim his second individual title this season; Dozier sits 17th in the Sun Belt according to statistical rankings.
Jake Tucker heads into the tournament coming off his season-best performance with a 75.67 stroke average, and will look to continue his 2012-13 streak of five straight finishes in the top-25.
Phillip Brennan has seen action in just two events this season, but will take part in his third event looking to improve on a season-best finish of a tie for 49th with a stroke average of 77.33.
Wil Clowdus and Kyle Thommesen, both from Auburn, will look to use the home course advantage and improve on stroke averages of 79.27 and 78.58, respectively.
