VERO BEACH, Fl. – The Kansas men's golf team is set to travel to Vero Beach, Florida to compete in the Quail Valley Collegiate Invitational at the Quail Valley & River Club from Oct. 19-20.

USF is hosting the 16-team field that includes Kansas competing against Maryland, FAU, Rutgers, Marquette, Liberty, Indiana, FGCU, North Florida, Northwestern, Minnesota, Northern Illinois, Memphis, UNC-Greensboro and Penn State.

The Jayhawks will play 36-holes on Sunday, Oct. 19, following a shotgun-start format. The event will conclude on Monday, Oct. 20 with an 18-hole round.

"This golf course's defense is the wind, if the wind blows it becomes fairly difficult, but if there is no wind teams will make a lot of birdies." Kansas coach Jamie Bermel said, "We played here a few years ago and played really well. I know the golfers are looking forward to another opportunity."

Coach Bermel will travel with a lineup of seniors Will King, Luke Honner, sophomores Hartej Grewal, Ty Lasley, and freshman Arthur Carlier.

Kansas is coming off a fourth-place finish at the Bryson Invitational from Oct. 13-15, where the Jayhawks competed with the same lineup that is traveling to the Quail Valley Collegiate Invitational.

Grewal has put together an impressive start to his sophomore season, securing back-to-back top 10 finishes over the past two tournaments. The transfer leads the team with a stroke average of 70.4, and has four rounds in the 60's.

King is currently carrying a scoring average of 71.2 through 12 rounds, has recorded two finishes in the top 20, and has carded two rounds in the 60's. The Kansas native is coming off a top 10 finish at the Bryson Invitational, where he tied for seventh with a score of 209 (-7).

The freshman continues to impress in his first season as a Jayhawk, and has recorded three out of four tournaments inside the top 30 individuals. Carlier is carrying a scoring average of 71.6 and has recorded two rounds in the 60's.

Honner is carrying a stroke average of 71.9 over 12 rounds, and has also recorded one top 20 finish, and one round in the 60's so far this season.

Lasley is looking to improve in the Quail Valley Collegiate Invitational, after finishing the Bryson Invitational with scores of 77-72-74 (+7).
