The University of Toledo and the Inverness Club are hosting the 2009 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships on May 26-30. It will be the second time the Rockets have served as the tournament host with the previous occurrence coming 65 years ago in 1944.
A par-71, 7,255-yard course, the Inverness Club was founded in 1903 and has hosted four U.S. Opens, one U.S. Amateur, one U.S. Senior Open and two PGA Championships. The Rockets’ men’s golf program has also hosted the Inverness Intercollegiate there since 2000.
The 2009 NCAA Championships will feature a new twist with the team champion determined via match play, the first time the winner hasn’t been awarded by total strokes since 1965. The top eight teams after 54 holes of stroke play will advance to match play with the quarterfinals and semifinals being held on Friday, May 29 and the championship match set for Saturday, May 30. During the match-play portion of the championships, each match will be worth one point with all five players participating. The first team to win three points within the team match will advance or, in the case of the championship match, be declared the national champion.
