CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati men's golf team will play its final event before the Big 12 Championships on Monday and Tuesday at Mississippi State's Old Waverly Collegiate.

Participating teams include No. 15 Alabama, Kansas State, Memphis, No. 3 Ole Miss, No. 32 Mississippi State, Missouri, Murray State, South Alabama, Southern Miss, Troy, ULM and UTEP.

The Bearcats have competed in this tournament three-straight years now, finishing third and eighth, though those two were at Mossy Oak, which is currently undergoing renovations. The Old Waverly Golf Club was the original home from 2013-21.

The Bearcats are 81-44-1 on the year and will utilize their same lineup as the past four events in Ryan Ford, Leo Wessel, William McDonald, Connor McNeely and Michael Senn III. Cole Imig will also compete individually.

Ford is coming off a second-place finish at Mizzou's event last week, his sixth in the top-three for his career. He also jumped back into the top spot on the team with a 71.83 stroke average. Wessel, the freshman, has emerged with three top-14 finishes out of his last three tournaments. His 3-under 67 in last week's finale matched his career-low, set at the Johnnie-O.

Senn had been the team's top season performer until Ford overtook him last week. Prior to that, he had finished outside the top-30 only twice in seven tournaments.
