EVANSTON, Ill. — The Northwestern men's golf team will host the 21st iteration of the Windon Memorial Classic, starting on Sunday, Oct. 8 at Evanston Golf Club in Skokie, Illinois.
Evanston Golf Club, one of the premier, private golf clubs in the Chicago area, previously hosted the Windon in 2012 and 2014.
The field, featuring Northwestern, Army, Columbia, Eastern Michigan, Indiana, Iowa, Iowa State, Loyola (Chicago), Northern Illinois, Miami (Ohio), Marquette, Penn State, Princeton, UC Davis, and Wisconsin, includes seven teams in the top-100 of the Golfweek rankings (Sept. 28).
The teams will play two rounds on Sunday and one on Monday. First round tee times will begin at 7:30 a.m., second round tee times will begin at 12 p.m., and third round tee times will begin at 8 a.m.
ME AND MINE VS. YOU AND YOURS
All nine Wildcats will be playing in this event. Dylan Wu, Everton Hawkins, Ryan Lumsden, Sam Triplett, and Luke Miller comprise the starting lineup, while Eric McIntosh, Pete Griffith, Ethan Farnam, and Harrison Murphy are the four indivdiuals from NU.

The #B1GCats logged an impressive 20 birdies in the final round of the Marquette Intercollegiate at Erin Hills, en route to the fourth-best third rounds of all entrants.
DYNAMIC DUO
Lumsden and Wu were the first pair of Northwestern teammates to receive All-Big Ten First Team honors (in 2016-17) in the same season since Nick Losole and Jack Perry did so in 2013. It marked the fifth time since 2000 that multiple Wildcats earned All-Big Ten Selections in the same year.
LET ME COUNT THE WAYS
Wu was a team leader in a multitude of categories in 2016-17, including scoring average (70.53), rounds of par or better (23), rounds in the 60s (12), top-five finishes (5), top-10 finishes (9), top-25 finishes (11), birdies (115), and low round (66). He was named a Jack Nicklaus National Player of the Year Award semifinalist after the conclusion of the season.
HOT START FOR MCINTOSH
First year Eric McIntosh made three birdies in the first five holes of his second-round performance at the OFCC/Fighting Illini Invitational. He finished with a 1-under 69 on the day, the best round of his young Wildcat career.
NICE WEATHER AHEAD
Sunday calls for a sunny forecast with a high of 76 and a low of 56. Monday will be another sunny affair, with a similar high of 74 and a low of 59. Wind will be higher on Monday, 11 mph NNE.
