ABILENE — The Wildcats will head to their second tournament in two weeks, but this time they'll head to Trinity Forest Golf Club for the Trinity Forest Invitational starting Sunday.
What Happened Last Tournament
ACU had their second tournament of the season last week at the Bayou City Collegiate Classic.
The Wildcats had an excellent tournament at the Westwood Golf Club, with the team finishing second out of 11 teams. The 'Cats, who finished the tournament shooting 25 under par, found themselves only second to Sam Houston, who finished the tournament shooting 27 strokes under par. After the first day, the Wildcats also broke the tournament's 36-hole record, shooting 25 under on the first day.
The tournament's 11-team field also included two teams fielded by host Rice, UL-Monroe, Wichita State, UTRGV, Lamar, Houston Christian, Samford and UT Arlington.
Individually, Preston Cooper led the team shooting 10 under par, earning him fifth overall in the tournament. Throughout the tournament, Cooper earned 18 birdies.
Finishing right behind Cooper in sixth was Jaime Lewis, who shot nine under par for the whole tournament.
This Week's Lineup
ACU will field a nearly identical lineup as the Bayou City Collegiate Classic but with only a couple of differences.
Preston Cooper, Jaime Lewis, Trenton Johnson and Preston DeFriend will once again participate in team play after helping ACU to their second-place finish at the Bayou City Collegiate Classic.
Jack Hollingsed rounds out the team after competing individually at last week's tournament.
The program will also be sending another individual to compete starting Sunday. Colin Leonard will make his first tournament appearance this season.
