SAN ANTONIO — UTSA head men's golf coach John Knauer unveiled Monday the program's 2018-19 schedule, which features six tournaments in the state of Texas.
"We are excited about this year's schedule and the opportunity to compete against some of the historically best teams in collegiate golf," Knauer said. "You always want to play against the best competition to raise the bar for your own program.
