Lumsden will tee off the first round of his European Tour debut at 1:30 a.m. CT (8:30 a.m. Sweden time) and will be paired with Anders Hansen and Christofer Blomstrand.

In his junior campaign, Lumsden was a First Team All-Big Ten Honoree, helping lead the Wildcats to a top-16 finish at the NCAA Championships. He currently owns the third-best career scoring average in Northwestern program history.
