The Illinois Wesleyan University men's golf team is set to compete in the NCAA Division III Men's Golf National Championship, beginning Tuesday, May 20, in Penfield, New York. The tournament will be held at Midvale Country Club and will run until Friday, May 23. A cut will take place after the first 36 holes.
The Titans are ranked fifth and aim for their third national title. They will be represented by a seasoned lineup that includes seniors Griffin Pohl and Quinn Clifford, juniors Michael Spitzer and Juney Bai, and sophomore Aidan Healy. Pohl, Clifford, and Bai are making their third consecutive appearance at the NCAA Championship, while Spitzer returns for his second year. Healy is participating in his first national tournament.
In last year's championship event, Pohl tied for third place while Spitzer shared eighth place, earning both players All-America honors. Earlier this season, the same lineup competed at Midvale Country Club during a preview event in September where they finished second overall.
The tournament begins on Tuesday with tee times starting at 6:45 a.m. ET. Aidan Healy will be the first from Illinois Wesleyan to tee off at 7:35 a.m. ET.
