Overview
The Chattanooga Mocs men's golf team is taking a unique approach to their final tune up for the postseason. With tournament pickings slim this week, the Mocs and UAB Blazers square off in the "I-59 Cup" at the Ledges Golf Club in Huntsville.
The Ryder Cup-esque format include four ball and medal match play over 36 holes at the challenging layout.
Quotable
"We had an extra competition day, and I thought it fit nicely to have a one-day competitive tune up between Pasatiempo and conference. Also, our guys don't get the chance to play much match play, which is the format that decides our national championship. This experience hopefully gets them more comfortable with the intricacies of the format." –
