Roadrunners ready for Badger Invitational

SAN ANTONIO — The UTSA men’s golf team is back in action for the third straight week, making its maiden voyage to Wisconsin to play in the Badger Invitational on Monday-Tuesday, Sept. 22-23, at TPC Wisconsin.

The Roadrunners’ lineup will consist of Joshua Hong, Logan Zurn, Brayden Bare, Logan Vargas and Jacob King. UTSA will compete against DePaul, Green Bay, Illinois State, Minnesota, Northern Illinois, Oakland, Southern Illinois, Southern Miss, Toledo, Valparaiso, VCU, host Wisconsin and Xavier.

The field will play 36 holes on Monday starting at 7:15 a.m. and the final round is set for 8 a.m. Tuesday. Live scoring will be provided at scoreboard.clippd.com.

UTSA is coming off a seventh-place finish at the Highlands Invitational last week in Westchester, Illinois. Hong tied for 12th place with 1-under-par 215 (74-71-70) to help the Roadrunners end up one shot ahead of Iowa and six in front of Louisiana Tech.

It has been a busy September for the Roadrunners, as they also competed two weeks ago at the Argent Financial Classic, placing 12th behind a ninth-place tie from Hong, who fired a 7-under 209 (70-70-69).

Hong, a true freshman from Guadalajara, Mexico, paces UTSA with a 70.67 stroke average. He has broken par in five of his six rounds this season, headlined by a 3-under 69 in the final round of the Argent Financial Classic.

Bare ranks second on the squad with a 73.67 scoring mark and the redshirt junior also carded a 3-under 69 for the final 18 holes of the Argent Financial Classic.

Vargas owns a 74.9 stroke average and a pair of par-or-better rounds, including a 1-under 71 at the Argent Financial Classic.

Zurn tied for 31st with a 222 (74-75-73) in his season debut last week at the Highlands Invitational, while King competed in the Argent Financial Classic, posting a 228 (78-75-75).
