Golf Preview: Park University Fall Classic
Kansas City, MO - The men's and women's golf teams will close out the fall season on Monday and Tuesday at the Park University Fall Classic in Parkville, Mo.
The two round classic will take place at two separate courses, The National Golf Club of Kansas City and The Deuce at The National Golf Club.
The women's team will look to carry the momentum of a first place finish at The Dominic this past week. Freshman Abby Clark picked up her first collegiate victory in the tournament, and the Eagles won their first tournament in nearly six years.
The men's team will look to close out the fall on a high note after finishing 5th at The Dominic.
The weather could play a major factor on Monday as winds are predicted to gust upwards of 30 miles per hour in the area with temperatures reaching the mid-80s for the first round. Tuesday's final round will be much more comfortable, with highs in the low-70s and less wind in the forecast.
Dates: October 17th and 18th
Format: Eighteen holes of stroke play each day for a total of 36 holes. Round one will be played at The National Golf Club of Kansas City. Round two will be played at The Deuce at The National Golf Club.
