RICHMOND, Ky. – The Eastern Kentucky University men’s golf team will begin its fourth tournament of the 2024-25 season on Monday at the RedHawk Intercollegiate hosted by Miami (OH).
 
The 54-hole tournament will be held at the Pittsburgh Field Club in Pittsburgh, Pa. with the course playing 6,717 yards in length and as a par-71.
 
Joining the Colonels in the “Steel City” will be a field of 14 teams including hosts Miami, University of Richmond, VCU, Dayton, George Washington, Marquette, Marshall, Georgia Southern, Ohio, Robert Morris, James Madison, Lehigh, Bowling Green State, and Butler.
 
Competing for the Colonels will be Connor Gdovin, Anders Larson, Justin Begley, Jackson Finney, and Zach Watterson.
 
As a team, the Colonels are looking to improve on their seventh-place finish a week ago at the Cullan Brown Collegiate where the team showed flashes of excellence throughout the tournament.
 
Tennessee Tech transfer Anders Larson led the way for EKU as the Colonels’ top individual finisher. The junior from Pine Island, Minn. Shot +10 for the tournament including an opening round 73 to finish tied for 13th.
 
Connor Gdovin also finished in the top-20, two shots back of Larson, and will be looking to replicate his winning performance from the Colonel Shootout in the beginning of the season.
