GREENVILLE, S.C. --  The Furman men's golf team will compete Sunday through Tuesday at the Michael A. Marino Championship at the par 72, 7,370 yard Dunes Golf & Beach Club in Myrtle Beach, S.C. 

"The Dunes Beach and Golf Club is one of the best tests of golf we play all season," said Furman head coach Matt Davidson, the reigning SoCon Coach of the Year, who is in his eighth year leading the Paladin program.  "It definitely challenges you tee to green, and is always in fantastic condition. The field is strong as always, and we are looking forward to the challenge both the course and the competition will provide!"

Furman's lineup for the tournament includes senior Harris Barth, senior Zach Frazer, senior Clark Akers, sophomore Ludvig Josefsson, and junior Fisher Kennedy.  Sophomore David Oliver will compete as an individual.
