After starting the spring season at the Big Ten Match Play Championship, the Gophers will get back into stroke play at the Puerto Rico Classic. The 54-hole tournament will take place Feb. 22-24 in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico, at the Rio Mar River Course.
The travel squad: Jose Mendez, Rúnar Arnorsson, Jon DuToit, Riley Johnson, Charlie Duensing and William Leaf are making the trip to Rio Grande. It will be the first road trip with Minnesota to a stroke play event for Duensing and Leaf, who both traveled to the Big Ten Match Play Championship.

The course: The River Course has a par of 72 and plays at 6,902 yards. Greg Norman's course design uses the river and wetlands for obstacles outside the fairway.
