3/7/2020 1:24:00 PM | Men's Golf
NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – The UT Arlington men's golf team is set to tee it up in its third event of the spring season when the Mavericks head to Appalachian State's Bash at the Beach this coming Monday and Tuesday, Mar. 9-10, from The Surf Golf and Beach Club.
Beginning with 8 a.m. Central (9 local Eastern) shotgun starts each day, the Mavs will play 36 continuous holes on Monday before the final round on Tuesday. Live scoring will be available all tournament via Golfstat by clicking here.
The Mavericks will utilize the following five-man lineup on the par-72, 6,817-yard layout:
1) Kyle Cox
2) Paul Gonzalez
3) Caleb Hicks
4) Zach Cole
5) Jacob Massengale
The top-4 players – aside from order – remain unchanged from the first two events of the spring, while Massengale will be making his first appearance of the season and first since last April at the Wyoming Cowboy Classic as an individual.
Speaking of individuals, UTA will also have the following players competing as individuals:
Alberto Menacho
Daniel Cronje
Sully Billingsley
Zakary Jones
Along with UTA and host App State, 13 other teams will be competing in the Bash at the Beach: Maryland Eastern Shore, UNCW, Jacksonville State, Florida A&M, Tennessee Tech, George Washington, Eastern Kentucky, Long Island University, Loyola Chicago, Pennsylvania, Queens University of Charlotte, East Carolina's "B" Team and the Pennsylvania's "B" Team.
UTA is coming off its first even-par round in six opportunities this spring with a 288 in the final round at the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate two weeks ago.
Gonzalez continues to lead UTA with a 72.22 scoring average over 18 rounds this year – an average which would set the all-time single-season program record currently held by Bobby Massa (72.42) in 2008-09. The junior has four rounds in the 60s to lead the team, and also has nine par-or-better rounds this season.
Cox is close on Gonzalez's lead with a 72.89 scoring average over those same 18 rounds – which currently would be the 3rd-best in single-season program history. The sophomore has two rounds in the 60s and has a team-leading 10 par-or-better rounds on the year.
Hicks enters play this week with a 74.11 scoring average as he, Cox and Gonzalez are the lone Mavs to compete in now all seven of UTA's 2019-20 tournaments. The sophomore comes in with five par-or-better rounds on the campaign.
Cole will be making his third-straight start in the team lineup this spring after a pair of individual performances in the fall. He has a 78.00 scoring average over those 12 rounds.
As for Massengale, the junior will be making just his fourth-ever appearance, and only his second as a member of the lineup; the first came at New Mexico's William H. Tucker in September of 2018. Massengale has a 78.22 scoring average in his nine previous collegiate rounds.
In terms of the individuals, this will represent the collegiate debut of freshman Menacho, and the season debut for Billingsley – who has competed in just two previous tournaments in now his senior season, with one each in his freshman and sophomore campaigns.
Cronje has been a part of the team lineup each of the first six tournaments of the year as a true freshman and carries a 75.33 scoring average with a pair of par-or-better rounds. Zak Jones competed as part of the UTA lineup in all four fall events, posting a 74.25 scoring average, including a low of 69 and three par-or-better rounds. This will mark the spring debut for the sophomore.
Following action in North Myrtle Beach, UTA will return to the Pacific Northwest to compete in Seattle University's Redhawk Invitational at Chambers Bay Mar. 30-31.

THE NEW HOME OF UTA GOLF: Texas Rangers Golf Club
The recently-opened state-of-the-art Texas Rangers Golf Club is the new home of the UT Arlington's men's and women's golf programs. The world's only Major League Baseball-branded golf course, TRGC is the result of a $24 million renovation and updated routing of the former Chester W. Ditto Golf Course at Brown Boulevard and Collins Street, just a few miles north of UTA's campus. The Home of UTA Golf was designed by UTA alumni John Colligan and Trey Kemp of Arlington-based Colligan Golf Design. It features an expansive 23-acre practice area, and a new 33,871-square-foot clubhouse – set to open in early 2020 – will feature a full-service restaurant and bar, covered patio overlooking the golf course, pro shop, locker rooms and numerous rental and event spaces.
