Last Time Out: The Gophers placed ninth at the 14 team Spring Illini Classic last week. Due to rainy conditions, the 36-hole event was cut to a two round event. The rain soaked weather made it difficult on the players, as Minnesota finished just 12 shots back of third place.
Up Next: Minnesota will head to West Lafayette for the Big Ten Championships from April 29-May 1.
