The Tigers head to the brand-new ultra-private Halbert National Golf Club in Granbury, Texas, for their final competition of the fall season.<\/p>\n
Teams will play three rounds of stroke play Oct. 19-21, which will be streamed on the Golf Channel.<\/p>\n
The tournament is hosted on biotech entrepreneur David Halbert\u2019s $50 million \u201cpassion project\u201d course, which only opened this past spring.<\/p>\n
The secluded par-72 course measures 7,542 yards and is built on 185 acres of former farmland. This is the first tournament hosted on the course, and because of its private nature, there\u2019s not much information about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t know anything about the golf course,\u201d said Mizzou head coach Glen Millican.<\/p>\n
The course, located about an hour Southeast of Fort Worth, is designed by renowned golf architect Tom Fazio.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a look at the course:<\/p>\n
The Mizzou roster includes senior Veikka Viskari, junior Trent Mierl, freshman Antoni Hawkins, junior Paxton Maxwell and senior Brock Snyder.<\/p>\n
The Tigers are coming off last week\u2019s fifth-place finish at The Bryson Invitational where Mierl and Viskari placed in the top five.<\/p>\n
Viskari has led the Tigers this season with a 71.08 scoring average, followed closely by Mierl at 71.16.<\/p>\n
Mizzou is competing against eight other Division I teams, two of which are ranked above the Tigers. Texas A&M is ranked #28 and Michigan is ranked #54 among Division I teams, just a hair above #56 Missouri. Arizona and Rice aren\u2019t too far behind at #71 and #75, respectively.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the full list of competing teams:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a really special event, being on television and the way they\u2019re setting it up and the field they\u2019ve put together,\u201d Millican said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be one of the best experiences of the year for college golf.\u201d<\/p>\n
