"This week will be another opportunity to test ourselves against some of the best competition in the country," said head coach John Phillips. "Purdue will be hosting NCAA Regionals next year, so many of the top teams in the nation are playing to get a preview of the golf course. We are looking forward to the test and hope to build on what we learned at TPC Potomac."
