4/8/2022 12:38:00 PM | Men's Golf
The Golden Gopher men's golf team is set to compete in the Boilermaker Invitational on April 9th and 10th. The three round event spans two days, and will be played at Ackerman-Allen Golf Course in West Lafayette, Indiana. This is the first year the event will be held at Ackerman-Allen Golf Course, as the normal host site, Kampen Course, is under construction.
The event will follow a 54-hole format, playing the first two rounds on Saturday, and the third and final round on Sunday. The Gophers will be looking to repeat their success at the Boilermaker Invitational from 2021, as the Maroon and Gold finished tied for third as a team, and then-senior Angus Flanagan secured the individual victory.
