WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue men’s golf team concludes its fall season this weekend when it heads to the deep south for the Steelwood Collegiate, held at Steelwood Country Club in Loxley, Alabama.
The Boilermakers will be playing for the fifth time in six weeks and are looking for back-to-back tournament victories for the second straight season after winning the Purdue Fall Invitational 10 days ago at the Kampen-Cosler Course. The victory catapulted Purdue to No. 33 in the initial Clippd golf rankings and ended a strong two-week run for the Boilermakers after finishing fifth at the difficult Fighting Irish Classic.
This tournament concludes the fall portion of Purdue’s schedule — a stretch that featured six tournament appearances for the Boilermakers. Purdue will play just four regular-season tournaments during the spring campaign.
Purdue needed a strong result in last week’s home event and got it with strong performances up and down the lineup. Purdue won the tournament by 19 strokes, the second-largest margin of victory in a Boilermakers’ victory in school history. It featured all five players finishing in the top 15 and the second-lowest tournament score EVER recorded at the Kampen-Cosler Course.
This week’s 14-team field includes two other Big Ten teams as well as national powers Wake Forest and Texas A&M. Twelve of the 14 teams are ranked inside the nation’s top 100.
