This will be the first year that the Tigers of LSU compete in the 54-hole event taking place Sunday through Monday.
LSU will be playing alongside Saint Francis and Canisius in both the first and second round.
LSU’s five players will be senior Garrett Barber, senior Trey Winstead, senior Michael Sanders, junior Connor Gaunt, and freshman Cohen Trolio.
This is the first tournament on the schedule for the men’s golf team this fall and kicks off three straight weeks of play for the Tigers.
Winstead opted to take the extra year of eligibility offered after the 2020 season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and will begin his fifth year with the Tigers this season; Winstead’s 72.31 stroke average is the fifth lowest in LSU history.
Last season was Gaunt’s first with the Tigers, transferring in from Arkansas Tech where he averaged 72.39 strokes per round and 10 of his 18 rounds were even par of better.
