THIS WEEK
After leaving the foul weather of the east coast behind them, the University of Utah men’s golf team is about to participate in a tournament on the opposite side of the country, as the Oregon State Beavers will host the Utes and 13 other teams at the Oregon State Invitational, which will take place at the Trysting Tree Golf Club on Monday and Tuesday in Corvallis, Ore.
