RADFORD LINEUP
The Highlanders will travel with the same lineup as its last tournament: Conner Hayden, Ryan Rettberg, Tanner Carbaugh, Nick Brediger and Callum Cochrane.

THE FIELD
Radford has a great chance to improve its national ranking with a strong performance at this tournament. Seven top-100 golf programs are set to tee it up; three of which are in the Big South (RU, Winthrop and Charleston Southern).

THE COURSE
Located on Kiawah Island, Turtle Point Golf Course was designed by Jack Nicklaus. With narrow fairways, small greens, multiple water hazards and one of the longest courses on the island, golfers could be in for a frustrating day if they are not hitting the ball well.

The course has previously hosted the Carolinas' Amateur, the Carolinas' PGA, the South Carolina Amateur and the 1990 PGA Cup Matches.

UP NEXT
The Highlanders will return to action in the spring when they travel to Hilton Head Island, S.C. for the Wexford Intercollegiate. Francis Marion will host the two-day tournament, Feb. 23-24.
