HOUSTON — Rice will participate in one of the premier golf tournaments of the season when it travels to Mexico for the Cabo Collegiate, Feb. 27-Mar. 1. The tournament will be played at the par-71, 6,807-yard Cabo del Sol Ocean Course in Cabo, Mexico.
JUSTIN EMIL QUOTABLE
"This is a great event and a huge opportunity for us. Our focus this week is great speed on the greens, picking strong targets, and walking through the process shot-to-shot. If we can execute that this week, we'll compete well. The greens are PGA Tour quality in speed and firmness. It's also really nice to swing the club without all the cold weather gear on, as it's nice weather here in Cabo."

Leading the 15-team field are four teams in the latest Golfstat Top 50 in No. 2 Arizona State, No. 3 Oklahoma State, No. 6 Texas Tech, No. 7 Arkansas, No. Stanford, No. 10 Tennessee, No. 16 Ole Miss, No. 20 Alabama, No. 21 Vanderbilt, No. 28 Arizona, and No. 41 Florida State.
