BRYAN, Texas - Following a three-state road trip to open the fall competition schedule, Rice University men's golf returns to Texas to co-host the Miramont Invitational at Miramont Country Club on Oct. 13-14. Fellow 2014 NCAA Tournament team Sam Houston State is also co-hosting the event.
The competitors will play 36 holes on Monday beginning with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. at the par-72, 7,174-yard course. The final round will also begin with a shotgun start on Tuesday at 8 a.m.
Head coach Justin Emil said, "This week we are looking for a bounce back performance. We had a pretty good week of practice and qualifying so as the tournament at Miramont Country Club approaches we plan to get back to some basic fundamentals that have helped us be successful."
"I'm excited to co-host the inaugural Miramont Invitational. The golf course is in phenomenal shape and is a true championship venue. They hosted the Junior PGA Championship this past summer and also numerous USGA and Texas PGA Section tournaments over the years. It will be a great experience for the participating teams and coaches."
The Owls send eight golfers to the event, including a team of five and three individuals.
Joe Beck III, Sr.
Mario Carmona, Fr.
