BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men’s golf team will play its final match of the 2009 fall season this weekend in the luxury of their own backyard as the Mountain Hawks host the Lehigh Invitational at Saucon Valley Country Club. Nine teams will compete on the Weyhill Course as Lafayette, Bucknell, Siena, Colgate, Saint Bonaventure, Drexel, Villanova and Saint Peter’s join the Brown and White for the two-day tournament. Action gets underway on Saturday morning and will conclude on Sunday.
Saucon Valley Country Club, founded in 1920, has grown from 18 holes and a clubhouse to become one of the largest private clubs in North America. It encompasses 800 acres and consists of four courses, including the Weyhill Course, Old Course, Grace Course and Short Course. The Weyhill Course, where this weekend’s action will take place, is the most picturesque with marvelous views and dramatic changes in elevation. Construction of the course began in 1966 and the first round was played in August of 1968.
The Mountain Hawks have competed in three events so far this fall with the most recent taking place the weekend of October 4-5 in Newark, Delaware at the Delaware Invite. Lehigh posted a sixth place finish as sophomore Doug Marcincin shot a 156 to tie for 13th place individually. The Mountain Hawks also competed at the Cornell Invite and the Bucknell Fall Invitational.
Complete results of the Lehigh Invitational will be available on Lehighsports.com at the conclusion of play each day.
