SAN ANTONIO — The UTSA men's golf team will tee off its spring season this weekend when it competes at the All-American Intercollegiate. The three-day tournament is scheduled to begin on Friday at the Golf Club of Houston in Humble.
The Roadrunners will compete against a field that includes top-ranked Vanderbilt, No. 13 Baylor, No. 21 Auburn, No. 38 South Carolina, Charlotte, Houston, Houston Baptist, Lamar, Louisiana Tech, McNeese State, New Mexico State, Rice, Sam Houston State, Samford, SMU, Southeastern Louisiana and Wisconsin. The teams will play 18 holes each day with tee times off both sides beginning at 9 a.m. on Friday and Saturday and 8 a.m. on Sunday.
UTSA finished eighth with an 890 (293-302-295) in a field that featured six nationally ranked squads at last year's All-American Intercollegiate. Sean Meehan fired a 4-over-par 220 (73-79-68) to tie for 24th to lead the way.
The Roadrunners turned in three top-10 finishes in the fall campaign, highlighted by a runner-up showing at Price's "Give 'Em Five" Invitational on Oct. 28-30 in El Paso.
Individually, Zander Lozano won a pair of tournaments, as the junior from Fair Oaks Ranch tied for first at the Sam Hall Intercollegiate and claimed top honors outright at Price's "Give 'Em Five" Invitational with a school-record 12-under 202 (66-70-66).
