MUNCIE, Ind. - The IU Indianapolis men's golf team will be back in action this weekend when the Jaguars compete in Ball State's Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational at Delaware Country Club. The Jaguars will play 54 holes spread over two days, including two rounds of continuous play on Saturday (Sept. 26). Play will begin with a 9:00 a.m. shotgun start on Saturday. 

The Jaguars had a strong start to the fall slate at the Bryan National Collegiate, finishing fifth of 13 teams with a 54-hole 865. Junior Keaton Parmley led the way at 2-under 212 and senior Brady Schier shot even par 216. The Jaguars' opening round, 2-under 286 was fueled by Schier's 5-under 67 while both Parmley and Jack Scudder shot even par 72.

Head coach Jamie Broce's team carded 856 at the Earl Yestingsmeier Invitational last season while senior Titus Boswell tied for third overall at 9-under 201 (70-65-66). Scudder tied for 31st overall while playing as an individual at 3-over 213 (72-71-70). 

THE COURSE
Delaware Country Club is known as East Central Indiana's oldest and finest private golf course. The signature No. 18 is a challenging par-4 that requires a long approach shot over water into a small, well protected green.

The 16-team field includes Ball State, Bowling Green State, Butler, Central Michigan, Chicago State, Cleveland State, Eastern Kentucky, Evansville, Georgia State, Howard, IU Indy, Loyola Chicago, Northern Kentucky, Purdue (individuals only), Purdue Fort Wayne and Wright State.

QUOTABLE
"It was nice to get off to a good start this week at a great tournament. My ball striking was the strength of my game this week, which helped a lot to get some birdie opportunities. The team has a ton of potential to be great and I'm excited to see how the rest of the year goes," Parmley said following the season opening Bryan National Collegiate.
