ROCHESTER, Mich. \u2013 The Oakland men’s golf team returns to the ECU Intercollegiate for the sixth consecutive year, teeing off Sunday at the Brook Valley Country Club in Greenville, North Carolina.<\/p>\n
Originally scheduled as a two-day event, the tournament has been expanded to three days of competition, shifting from the usual 36-18 format to an 18-18-18 setup due to inclement weather in the area. Play on the par-72, 6,803-yard course will now begin on March 15, the new opening day of competition, with a 10 a.m. (ET) start.<\/p>\n
Fifteen teams will compete in this year’s event: East Carolina (ECU), Barton, Bellarmine, Columbia, Fairleigh Dickinson, Gardner-Webb, Lehigh, Oakland, Old Dominion, Omaha, Presbyterian, St. John’s, Temple, UCF, and UNC Wilmington.<\/p>\n
The Golden Grizzlies have competed in ECU’s spring event every year since the 2020-21 season and were scheduled to play in 2019-20 before the tournament was canceled due to COVID-19. Oakland finished 11th overall in last year’s tournament, with its best performance coming in the 2021-22 season, when the team placed fifth.<\/p>\n
Oakland’s lineup for the ECU Intercollegiate features senior Ellis Kinnaird<\/a>, juniors Matteo Rocco<\/a> and Jack Zubkus<\/a>, sophomore Brennan Sullivan<\/a>, and freshman Rakshit Dahiya<\/a>. Rocco, Zubkus, Sullivan, and Dahiya will make their second appearance together as a team after recording a top-10 54-hole score in program history and their second-best mark of the season at 860.<\/p>\n Initially slated to open play alongside UCF and Presbyterian, Oakland will now have its entire lineup tee off on hole one at 10:36 a.m. on day one.<\/p>\n Live scoring and statistics for each round will be available on Clippd<\/a>.<\/p>\n How to Follow Oakland Men’s Golf: For complete information on Oakland Men’s Golf, follow the team on Instagram<\/a> and X at @OaklandMGolf<\/a>.<\/p>\n
