9/25/2015 | Men's Golf
What: Graeme McDowell Shoal Creek Invitational
When: September 28-29
Where: Shoal Creek Golf and Country Club, Birmingham, Ala.
The Field: UAB (Host), College of Charleston, GRU Augusta, Houston, North Florida, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Washington, West Virginia, Winthrop
Course Stats: Par 72; 7,154 yards
Featured Hole: No. 17 "Water Fall" is a risk-reward par five. To the right of the fairway is a large bunker, protected by thick woods on the outside. A pond with a waterfall guards the front of the green, which also adds to the scenery of the hole.
Player to watch: Junior Noah West looks to lead the Rebels after coming off of a top-25 finish at the Carpet Capital Collegiate. The Tupelo, Mississippi native has had success at Shoal Creek through his first two years at Ole Miss, finishing in a tie for 9th in 2013 and tie for 19th in 2014.
Ole Miss Lineup: Noah West, Forrest Gamble, Braden Thornberry, Ben Wolcott, Connor Davis
Quoting: Head Coach Chris Malloy
On the upcoming tournament...
"We are excited to get back into tournament play. Our guys have worked extremely hard over the past week and are looking forward to playing one of our favorite courses of the year. We just need to focus on the process of becoming a championship team. If we go out relaxed and enjoy ourselves even when things aren't going our way, then we will be a tough team to beat."
