BULLS BAY, SC – The Kansas Men’s Golf program returns to action for the second time in March on Sunday, when the Jayhawks open the game in the three-day Hootie at the Bulls Bay Intercollegiate.

Kansas is part of a 16-team competitive field for the tournament and will be joined by Duke, Iowa State, Kentucky, Missouri, NC State, Purdue, South Carolina, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Auburn, College of Charleston, Kent State Marquette , Louisiana Tech and Wichita State.
Coach Jamie Bermel’s team will have the same roster that gave Jayhawks sixth place in the Lamkin San Diego Classic earlier this month. Representing Kansas will be Harry Hillier, Luke Kluver, Ben Sigel, William Duquette and Zach Sokolosky. Davis Cooper will join the Jayhawks on the trip and play as an individual.
“We are excited to play again,” said Bermel. “We had some guys looking after some health problems, but we are here and ready to go.”
Duquette is presenting his best showing as a college golfer in San Diego. He fired a final round of 70 to tie for sixth place, marking his best result as a Jayhawk. He finished -1 for the tournament. Kluver also had a good performance in San Diego, guaranteeing his second consecutive result in the top 10, drawing in eighth place.
