ESTERO, Fla. – The Coastal Carolina men’s golf team travels to South Florida this week to compete in the West Bay Collegiate Invitational at the par-72, 6,960-yard course West Bay Club, Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 6-7.  
  
Teams are slated to play the first and second rounds on Monday, with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start. The second round will begin immediately after the opening round is completed. Tuesday’s third and final round is scheduled for a 9 a.m. shotgun start.  
 
The Chanticleers’ lineup includes Jack Lee, Max Bengtsson, Drew Sykes, Santiago Schele, and Owen Kim. Coleman Ferguson and Harrison James will play as individuals.  
  
Coastal will play alongside host Florida Gulf Coast and Jacksonville in the first two rounds. UCF, Stetson, Elon, George Mason, Middle Tennessee State, DePaul, and Eastern Michigan round out the 10-team field.
  
“We are excited to return to competition this week,” CCU head coach Jacob Wilner said. “West Bay is a great course, and we have a well-rounded lineup that can post some good scores.”  
 
The Chanticleers last played three weeks ago at the Highlands Invitational in suburban Chicago, where they placed third at 1-over par 865, behind tournament champion Wake Forest (-24) and runner-up East Tennessee State (-16).  
 
Lee leads the Chanticleers, who have played in two tournaments this season, with a 69.5 strokes per round scoring average, followed by Bengtsson (71.0), Sykes (71.67), and Schele (71.83). All four players posted a top 10 finish in one of the first two tournaments.
