LONG BEACH, Calif. – Following a strong season opener in which the Long Beach State men's golf team took second at the Husky Invitational and was led by co-medalist Owen Avrit, the Beach will head to the Nick Watney Invitational in Fresno, Calif. The tournament will take place at Fort Washington Country Club on Monday, Sept. 30 and Tuesday, Oct. 1.
The Beach, which is ranked No. 20 in the country by Golfweek and receiving votes in the Golf Coaches Association of America rankings, looks to continue to build on the solid start from last week. Long Beach State will send its lineup of freshman Owen Avrit, senior Hunter Epson, sophomore Bryce Kvick, freshman Isaac Rodea, and senior Hunter Reed, into the 15-team tournament.
Avrit and Epson led LBSU last week with a pair of excellent performances. Avrit made his collegiate debut shooting 67-71 en route to earning co-medalist honors in a four-way tie for first at the Husky Invitational after shooting six-under par. Meanwhile, Epson came in tied for fifth as he finished five-under par with a 66-73 in the weather-shortened two-round tournament.
The Nick Watney Invitational will begin at 8:45 a.m. on Monday morning as the first and second rounds will be played on Sept. 30. The final round will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 1 Live scoring will be available via GolfStat.com and updates will be featured throughout the day on @LBSUMensGolf on Twitter.
