Fifth-year senior Ryan Sam finished tied for 17th to pace the Penguins individually and finish in the top 25 for the third straight tournament to begin the 2026-27 season. In addition, junior Bryar Moss finished tied for 22nd with a three-round total of 219 (73-72-74) in his first appearance in YSU's team lineup.

The teams are scheduled to play 18 holes on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in the three-day, 54-hole event. Tee times for Sunday's opening round of action are set to begin at 8 a.m. Live scoring will be available via Scoreboard by Clippd through links posted on YSUsports.com.
Head Coach Tony Joy has announced that YSU's five-player team lineup will feature Sam, Nolan Shilling, Moss, Nathan Miller and Jack Sacriponte. In addition, Rocco Turner will be competing as an individual for the Penguins.
