Ospreys Ready for Furman Golf Intercollegiate

Live Scoring

GREENVILLE, S.C. – The No. 14/17 North Florida men's golf team returns to the links this weekend when the Ospreys participate in the 44th Annual Furman Intercollegiate.

The Furman men's golf team hosts the event at the par-72, 6,994-yard Furman University Golf Club. This year's 21-team field includes the host Paladins, Akron, Charleston Southern, Chattanooga, Dartmouth, East Tennessee State, Francis Marion, Gardner-Webb, Georgia State, Iowa State, Marshall, North Florida, Presbyterian, Purdue, Samford, Temple, Troy, Virginia Tech, Western Carolina, Winthrop and Wofford.

Three of the 21 teams are ranked among the top 50 teams in the nation and eight are among the top 100 teams in this week's GolfWeek/Sagarin Rankings, led by No. 14 North Florida. Several golfers are ranked individually in the Top 50 including UNF's trio of Sean Dale, Kevin Phelan and MJ Maguire.

Dale, Phelan and Maguire headline the Osprey lineup for the event which also includes freshmen Taylor Hancock and Austin Padova. Junior Taylor Johnson will also participate in the tournament as an individual.

"This will be a different situation for us as we are the highest ranked team in the field," said UNF head coach Scott Schroeder. "We need to be prepared to play well because every other team will be looking to beat us because of our ranking. This golf course will also be a nice test. They are expecting some colder weather during the tournament which will be a good preparation for us should be get selected to play at a cold regional site in the NCAA Tournament."

Round one of the 54-hole tournament tees off on Friday morning at 8 a.m. with second round play slated for Saturday and final round action scheduled to begin on Sunday morning.
