Texas A&M Men’s Golf Set for Valspar Invitational

PALM CITY, FLA. - The Texas A&M men's golf will hit the road this week for a premier showdown at the Valspar Invitational on the Floridian Golf Club.
 
"We love this tournament," said head coach J.T. Higgins, "The Floridian is such a great golf course and it is always in great shape."
 
The Aggie's skills will be tested for three rounds over two days on the par-72 6,916 yard course.
 
Joining the Aggies in Florida will be fifteen other programs including five of the top ten ranked teams in the country. 
 
"The field is really strong and the winner gets an exemption into The Valspar Championship on the PGA Tour," Higgins added. "It's just an outstanding event and we are excited to be back."
 
In their last showing, the Aggies took home sixth place at the General Hackler Championship with sophomore Cameron Champ carding a top-ten individual finish.
 
In Florida, A&M will be paired with No. 12 Oklahoma State and No. 38 Memphis and tee off starting at 9 a.m. local time.  The teams will play two rounds on Monday before playing the deciding round on Sunday.
