Men’s golf set for Big Ten Tournament

The Iowa men’s golf team is in French Lick, Ind., this weekend for the Big Ten Tournament. The event will begins at 7 a.m. today and will run through May 4.

No. 11 Illinois is the highest ranked team in the tournament, and the Illini have won the last six tournaments. Their top finishers from last season — Brian Campbell and Thomas Detry, who finished second and tied for eighth — return to lead the Illini.

The No. 35 Hawkeyes are led by senior Steven Ihm, who finished 13th to lead the Hawkeyes to a third-place finish last season.

“This is our one tournament where we go head-to-head with all the teams for a Big Ten championship,” head coach Mark Hankins said in a release. “It’s no different from any other tournament that we play, necessarily. It does have some added value, and we’re going to be as ready as we can be.”
