GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com)
- The Green Bay men's and women's golf teams are
headed to Howey-In-The-Hills, Fla., for the Horizon League Golf Championship,
which will begin Sunday. For the second straight year, the teams will be
playing a three-day, 54-hole tournament at Mission Inn Resort and Club, with
the final round set for Sunday.
Last season, the Green Bay men finished fourth at
the Horizon League Championships. With experience on their sides, juniors Chad Ebert and Cam Fuller look to lead the Phoenix to a conference title this season.
Ebert finished in eighth place and Fuller placed 13th at the 2011 league
championships.
Ebert, a junior, shot a season-low round of 69 at
the Butler Invitational this past fall, finishing tied for third place. His
season scoring average is a team-best 74.5. Fuller looks to continue his play
this week after coming off a season-low 72 two weekends ago at the Detroit
Mercy Invitational. Sophomore Dan Ozga seeks to continue his great play, coming
off a season low round of 69 at the Bradley Invitational. Ozga's season scoring
average is 76.1, second on the squad.
On the women's side, the Phoenix will be led by
junior Christina De Boer and senior Eleanor Yorobe. DeBoer leads the Green Bay team
with a season scoring average of 84.5 and a low round of 78 at the Western
Illinois Invitational. Yorobe, with a season scoring average of 86.6, looks to
finish her career strong. She shot her season low round of 79 at the Valparaiso
Invitational. Last season, the Phoenix women placed seventh at the HL
Tournament.
Play will begin Friday
morning and will continue through Sunday. Live scoring updates will be
available throughout the championship and can be accessed on GolfStat.com for
both the
men and the
women.
