Golf Heads to Big 12 Match Play Championship
October 06, 2024 11:19 AM | Golf
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University golf team returns to action Monday through Wednesday at the Big 12 Match Play Championship. The event will take place at The Clubs at Houston Oaks, in Hockley, Texas, outside of Houston.
For the seventh consecutive season, teams will compete at the par-71, 7,007-yard The Clubs at Houston Oaks. The tournament will feature match play rather than stroke play. During pool play, each team will play matches during three sessions, followed by a bracket play round and then the final round. Teams will get three points for a win and one point for a draw.
The Mountaineers will face off against Utah on Monday morning at 7:45 a.m. CT, and will go against BYU on Monday afternoon at 1:15 p.m. CT. On Tuesday morning, the Mountaineers will face off against Houston at 7:45 a.m. CT. On Tuesday afternoon, matchups for bracket play will be finalized after the third match. The placing round will begin Wednesday morning at 7:45 a.m. CT.
"This event is one of the highlights of our season," coach Sean Covich said. "It's always special whenever you get an opportunity to go head-to-head against Big 12 teams in match play. Our players should be fired up, especially considering we were voted 14th out of 15 teams. But there's only one way to change that, and that's to play some great golf in Texas."
WVU will travel six golfers to Texas with five competing in each match. Seniors Todd Duncan, Pierce Grieve and Max Green, juniors Carson Kammann and Kaleb Wilson and freshman Ryan Leach will head to Big 12 Match Play.
On Monday and Tuesday, three WVU golfers will compete in the Red Flash Invitational in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, at Sunnehanna Country Club. The Mountaineers will be represented by junior Westy McCabe, redshirt freshman Hugh Donegan and freshman Nick Turowski.
Results for both tournaments will be available at Scoreboard by Clippd.
