HOUSTON—After a month off, Rice will cohost the inaugural Bayou City Collegiate Classic, played at the par 72, 7,272-yard Golfcrest Country Club in Pearland.
Co-hosting the event with the Owls are Houston and Sam Houston State. Abilene Christian, Denver, Houston Baptist, Kansas, Lamar, McNeese State, North Texas, Southern Miss, Texas State, Tulsa and UTSA will also participate.
"We have had a long break since our first tournament and the guys are ready to get back into some competition," said head coach Justin Emil. "It's great to be able to play a tournament on a course we are very familiar with and that's so close to home. The field is strong so we have our work cut out of us. It's going to be a lot of fun seeing this lineup compete. After this week we have two more tournaments back to back, so this week is a great opportunity to build some momentum as we close out the fall season."
