EVANSTON, Ill. — The Northwestern men's golf team, fresh off of winning the 21st Windon Memorial Classic, travels to Greensboro, North Carolina, to finish their fall slate at the UNCG/Grandover Collegiate on Saturday and Sunday.
FIRST THINGS FIRST
The #B1GCats will be sending out Dylan Wu, Sam Triplett, Everton Hawkins, Ryan Lumsden, and Eric McIntosh. First-year Ethan Farnam will be the Wildcats' individual entry and will be competing in his second-straight event.
Northwestern will play 36 holes Saturday beginning with a 7:30 a.m. CT shotgun start. Sunday will have an 8:30 a.m. CT shotgun start for the final round.
WHO'S HERE?

WINNER, WINNER
Northwestern surged in the final round of the 21st Windon Memorial Classic, posting a 7-under 273 to tie Penn State for the tournament win. The Wildcats picked up their fifth all-time win at their home event and second in the last five years.
PRIOR RETURNS
Sophomore Everton Hawkins posted his strongest performance of the season at the Windon, carding a 3-under 207 and coming one stroke off of the individual championship. He posted 3-under 67s in both the opening and closing rounds.
