The Golden Eagles will again host the Marquette Intercollegiate at Erin Hills on Oct. 6-8
MILWAUKEE – Highlighted by the 2019 Marquette Intercollegiate at Erin Hills on Oct. 6-8, Marquette has finalized its 12-event 2019-20 men's golf season schedule.
In addition to an exhibition match against the University of Stirling at The Ailsa Course at Turnberry in Scotland on Aug. 8, the Golden Eagles will play six tournaments during the fall and another six events in the spring, including an Alumni Match on Feb. 1 in Florida.
Erin Hills, the site of the 117th US Open and the longest course in major championship history (7,722 yards), hosts Marquette's home event for the sixth time in seven years. In last year's tournament, the Golden Eagles placed third and posted an 11-under par 277 in the final round, led by a 67 from then-sophomore Hunter Eichhorn. Eichhorn placed third individually with a 6-under 210 (71-72-67), while senior Oliver Farrell was eighth at 1-under par 215 (71-74-70).

MARQUETTE INTERCOLLEGIATE AT ERIN HILLS – OCT. 6-8
- MU placed third for the second time in as many seasons at the Marquette Intercollegiate in 2018, while Northwestern won the event.
- The Wildcats are one of three teams returning to Erin Hills from the 2018 field, along with UC Davis and Wisconsin. Marquette is one of six teams in the field that participated in NCAA regional action last season with Liberty advancing to the championship round with a fifth-place finish in the Athens Regional. Northwestern, Purdue, South Florida and UCLA also competed in an NCAA regional.
- Full field (Final 2019 Golfstat Team Ranking): Marquette (47), Ball State (138), Georgia State (153), Indiana (110), Liberty (22), Miami (141), Northwestern (51), Purdue (57), South Florida (38), UC Davis (105), UCLA (29), Wisconsin (114).
- The Golden Eagles look to repeat as tournament champion at Northwestern's Windon Memorial Classic on Sept. 16-17. This year's event will be played at Conway Farms Golf Course after last season's event was held at The Knollwood Club in Lake Forest, Illinois. The victory was MU's second early season victory in a row and Marquette was led by then-senior Oliver Farrell's 7-under par 209 (69-69-71).
- Marquette gets another opportunity in one of college golf's top events at the 28th annual Puerto Rico Classic, hosted by Purdue from Feb. 16-18. Past medalists at the PRC include Justin Thomas, Luke Donald, Lucas Glover, Matt Kuchar and Stewart Cink.
- MU travels to Vanderbilt's Mason Rudolph Championship, April 3-5 outside of Nashville. The Commodores finished second last year's NCAA stroke play championship and fell in the semifinals of the match play bracket to eventual national champion Stanford, 3-2.
- The Marquette Intercollegiate sandwiches a pair of premier courses on the schedule in the Trinity Forest Invitational at Trinity Forest Golf Club and the Crooked Stick Collegiate Invitational at Crooked Stick Golf Club.
- The Crooked Stick Collegiate Invitational is jointly hosted by Purdue and Indiana University in Carmel, Indiana on a course built by Pete and Alice Dye in 1964. The course hosted the PGA Championship in 1991 won by John Daly and the U.S. Women's Open in 1993. Most recently it hosted the U.S. Senior Open in 2009 and the 2012 BMW Championship.
- SMU will host the Trinity Forest Collegiate Invitational on the links-style course designed by Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw in Dallas. The home of the SMU men's and women's programs, it became the home of the AT&T Byron Nelson in 2018.
