JONESBORO, Ark. — The LSU men’s golf team will participate in the seventh-annual ASU Indian Golf Classic April 14-15 at RidgePointe Country Club in Jonesboro, Ark.
The Tigers added the tournament to their schedule earlier this month in place of the Country Club of Louisiana Intercollegiate which was rained out in October, and will be LSU’s 11th tournament of the season. LSU placed 12th in their last tournament, the Schenkel E-Z-Go Invitational on March 23, shooting a 16-over par 880.
“I am happy that we were able to fill the void in our schedule that was created once the CCLA was rained out back in the fall,” said Jones. “This will be a good tournament for us to play in against some teams that we really need to beat head to head, like South Alabama and Southern Miss. We really need to beat those teams if we want to have a good shot to make a regional this season,” Jones said.
“We would usually have an entire month off before going to the SEC’s, but now we will have just two weeks,” Jones said. “We really needed to play in another tournament so we are excited about this one.”
Jones will use a lineup of senior John Humphries, sophomores Tucker Ervin, Heath West, Brandon Aydlett, and freshman David Aitchison. Humphries has played in all 10 of LSU’s tournaments this season, West has seen action in nine, and Aitchison will play in his seventh. Aydlett and Ervin will participate in their fifth event of the season.
The Tigers will next head to the 2003 Southeastern Conference Championships April 25-27 in Sea Island, Ga.
