MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University golf team will compete in the Big 12 Golf Championship from Monday to Wednesday in Hutchinson, Kansas.
The Big 12 Championship will be contested at Prairie Dunes Country Club on the 7,025-yard, par-70 course. The format will consist of a total of 72 holes across three days with 36 holes scheduled on Monday, followed by 18 holes each on Tuesday and Wednesday. Pairings will begin off both the No. 1 and No. 10 tees in each of the four rounds.
West Virginia will be paired with Colorado, Cincinnati and Houston and will tee off on No. 10 at 9:30 a.m. ET on Monday. Round two will begin continuously as round one ends.
Seniors Westy McCabe and Kaleb Wilson, sophomores Aidan Dortch (substitute), Ryan Leach and Nick Turowski and freshman Jack Michael make up the WVU lineup. Wilson will be making his fourth appearance, while McCabe will make his third appearance. Leach traveled as a substitute last season.
"Prairie Dunes always presents a unique challenge with steady winds, tall fescue rough and very quick, undulating green complexes," coach Sean Covich said. "The number one focus this week will be handling adversity. If we can do that, we will be fine. Looking forward to competing in one of the best conference championships in all of college golf!"
