Last year at the Queen’s Open, the women placed fifth overall while the men’s team placed third with Kevin Tree winning top spot in the individual category.
The men’s team is coming off a successful performance from two weekends ago at the Blugold Invite, finishing fifth The team will be looking to improve from the Blugold as it continues to prepare for the upcoming OUA championship.
