COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Following a week away from the links, the Tennessee Tech men's golf team returns to play Monday and Tuesday with a trip to Murray, Ky. and Miller Memorial Golf Course for the Murray State Invitational.

Tech's second event of the year will kick off Monday morning at approximately 8:30 a.m. CDT, with 36 holes on the docket for the day. The final 18 holes of the tournament will take place on Tuesday with a 9 a.m. scheduled start.

The Golden Eagles set their sights on the same course and tournament that the women's squad placed third in just one week ago. Miller Memorial Golf Course will play at a par of 71 and 6,601 yards for the men, with both the front and back nine ending with a par-3 hole.
