Burgoon leads the Aggies with a 69.67 stroke average and is ranked No. 4 nationally by Golfweek.
"This is our last tournament of the fall and we are excited to be playing inside the state borders," A&M Coach J.T. Higgins said. "Anytime we play in Texas it's nice because it gives our friends and family a chance to see us play in person. We have had three weeks of practice since our last tournament and I have seen some solid improvement. I think we are ready to go out and compete again. We have never played in this event but the field is strong and Royal Oaks has a great reputation as a tough test of golf."
