The Missouri men's golf team is preparing for a significant challenge at the upcoming Bryson Invitational. This marks their inaugural participation in the tournament, scheduled from October 12-14 at the renowned Blue Monster course at Trump National Doral in Miami. The Blue Monster is a par-72 course famous for its numerous water features, prompting the Mizzou team to practice with simulated water hazards.
The team's lineup for this event includes senior Veikka Viskari, junior Trent Mierl, freshman Antoni Hawkins, junior Paxton Maxwell, and sophomore Esteban Cruz Bonilla. This outing follows a 14th-place finish in New Mexico, where Hawkins achieved an even-par result, leading the Tigers. While this is Mizzou's first time at the Bryson Invitational, Viskari has prior experience playing on the Blue Monster course.
The competition will bring together 12 Division I teams from across the nation. Notably, the Missouri Tigers are the only SEC school scheduled to compete. Other participating teams include Grand Canyon University, which recently placed eighth, and Florida Gulf Coast, fresh off a victory at their home invitational.
