KENT, Ohio- The No. 19 Kent State Golden Flashes look to repeat as team champions at the Hennsler Intercollegiate on Monday and Tuesday for the two-day event, hosted by Kennesaw State University. The event will be played at the par 72, 6,032-yard Pinetree Country Club in Kennesaw, Ga.
The event will feature 36 holes of competition on Monday and 18 holes of play on Tuesday. Both days begin with a shotgun start at 9 a.m.
The Golden Flashes are making their second appearance in the tournament, as last year, Kent State came out on top winning the tournament with a score of 12-over lar 876.
