STILLWATER, Okla. - Oklahoma State's men's golf team will return to action this weekend when it hosts 14 of the top teams in the country at the annual Ping/Golfweek Preview at Karsten Creek.
The 54-hole event will get underway at 8 a.m. (CST) on Sunday and will run through Tuesday with 18 holes being contested each day at the par-72, 7,449-yard layout. Joining OSU in this year's field will be Augusta State, Arizona State, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Oregon, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, TCU, UCLA, UNLV, USC and Virginia.
The Cowboys have won The Preview each of the past two years, including a 22-shot victory last season. OSU won the first-ever Preview in 1989 and also finished first in 1998 and 2004.
On the individual side, the Cowboys have produced the medalist each of the past two years as well with Peter Uihlein finishing first in 2009. Morgan Hoffmann shared medalist honors with Tennessee's Robin Wingardh in 2008. Charles Howell was the first Cowboy to win The Preview, finishing first in 1998. Pablo Martin captured back-to-back titles in 2004 and 2005.
This weekend marks the second time OSU has hosted The Preview with 2002 being the first. Overall, the home of Cowboy Golf has hosted five Division I men's tournaments with the last being the 2009 NCAA South Central Regional.
The Cowboy lineup will feature senior Kevin Tway and juniors Morgan Hoffmann and Uihlein. Uihlein earned his first win of the year in OSU's season debut at the Olympia Fields/Fighting Illini Invitational.
Joining the trio in the lineup will be freshman Talor Gooch and sophomore Drew Page. Gooch made his first career start in the season opener, while Page will be making his first-ever start for the squad after playing individually twice a year ago.
