VERONA, N.Y. - Mizzou Men's Golf will tee up for the first time in the 2016-17 season on the Turning Stone Resort's Kaluhyat Course from Sunday, Sept. 4-Monday, Sept 5, welcoming 13 squads to the event. The Tigers won their fourth-straight championship at the Turning Stone-Tiger Intercollegiate last season, and head coach Mark Leroux's lineup will aim for five-in-a-row in Verona.

Joining Mizzou at Kaluhyat (6,857 yards, par-72) are Alabama State, Binghamton, Boston College, Chattanooga, Cleveland State, Fort Wayne, IUPUI, Northern Kentucky, Sacred Heart, Saint Peter's, Texas A&M, Toledo and Villanova. The Aggies finished the 2015-16 season ranked 24th in the country, according to GolfStat and are currently receiving votes in the latest GCAA poll.

Mizzou's lineup for the Turning Stone features seniors Linus Lilliedahl (Sandviken, Sweden) and Euan Walker (Troon, Scotland). Sophomore Preston Fleenor (Kansas City, Mo.) holds the third position in the Tigers' group.

Newcomers to the Black & Gold round out Mizzou's five, with junior Trevor Ullestad (Jewell, Iowa) and freshman Rory Franssen (Inverness, Scotland) taking the fourth and fifth spots. Sophomore Matt Echelmeier (Columbia, Mo.) will gain further tournament experience by playing the event on an individual basis.

Binghamton, Boston College, Saint Peter's, Northern Kentucky and Chattanooga will also enter individuals in the tournament, a three-round, 54-hole strokeplay event.
