LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - The UNLV men's golf team will return to action this weekend as it competes at the William H. Tucker Intercollegiate at the UNM Championship Course (par 72, 7,562 yards) in Albuquerque, N.M.
The two-day, 54-hole stroke-play tournament hosted by New Mexico, will have two rounds (36 holes) on Friday, Sept. 25 with an 8:00 a.m. MT shotgun start/continuous play, and will conclude with a final round of 18 holes on Saturday, Sept. 26, also with an 8:00 a.m. MT shotgun start.
Competing for the Rebels will be sophomores John Oda and Shintaro Ban, freshman Harry Hall, senior AJ McInerney and sophomore Ben Davis. Junior Redford Bobbitt will play as an individual.
This will be the second tournament of the season for the Rebels as they began last weekend at the Olympia Fields/Fighting Illini Invitational. Hall led the team with a top-10 performance is his first collegiate outing, closing with a 4-under-par score to tie for ninth.
The Tucker Intercollegiate will have a field of 16 teams, including five from the Mountain West: Arizona, Bowling Green, Colorado, Colorado State, Denver, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico, New Mexico State, Nevada, Reno, TCU, UTEP, Texas Tech, UNLV, San Diego, San Diego State and Wyoming.

New Mexico is the three-time defending Tucker team champion as the Lobos recorded a 15-shot victory (15-under) at the 2014 event. New Mexico's Gavin Green is looking for his fourth straight individual win at the event as he has earned medalist honors each of the last three years. Last year he won by three shots at 9-under. UNLV finished sixth last year at 22-over.
