EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern will host the 19^th edition of the Windon Memorial Classic on Sunday and Monday, Sept. 27-28, at Lake Shore Country Club in Glencoe, Ill. The tournament will be the second contest for the Wildcats this season.

Lake Shore is an 18-hole regulation course. From the longest tees it features 6,519 yards of golf for a par of 71. The course was designed by Tom Bendelow and opened in 1908.

Play will consist of five-man teams with the best four scores counting towards the daily total. Teams will play 36 holes on Sunday and 18 holes on Monday. Participating squads feature universities from all over the country: Georgetown, Indiana, Lamar, Loyola, Marquette, Michigan, North Texas, Ohio State, Princeton, Purdue, SE Louisiana, Tulsa and UC Davis.

Northwestern captured the 2013 Windon at Knollwood Golf Club in Lake Forest, Ill., thanks to a second-place finish by then-senior Jack Perry and a third-place result by newly minted professional golfer Matt Fitzpatrick. The victory was NU's fourth in the history of the tournament.

The Windon has an illustrious history, with current PGA Tour members Luke Donald, Joe Ogilvie, Tiger Woods, Gary Woodland and Ben Curtis finishing as runners-up in the event. Donald and current PGA Tour members Hunter Mahan and Colt Knost are past champions.

NU's quintet will be sophomore Dylan Wu, senior Andrew Whalen, freshman Ryan Lumsden, senior Josh Jamieson and graduate student Harley Abrams. Freshmen Luke Miller and Pete Griffith, and sophomore Sam Triplett will play as individuals.
