LUBBOCK, Texas - The 10th-ranked Texas Tech Men's Golf team returns to action on Saturday at the Aggie Invitational in Bryan, Texas.
Texas Tech is coming off its first title of the 2015 season following a dominating performance in the Lone Star Invitational. Sophomore Hannes Ronneblad earned his first collegiate win at 9-under-par for the 54-hole event.
In his final tune-up before heading to prestigious Augusta National, Matias Dominguez will return to the scorecard after missing the Lone Star Invitational to participate in the Web.com Chile Classic where he finished tied for 30th place overall. The Chilean native and reigning Latin America Amateur Champion is set to begin play on April 9th in Augusta as the first active Red Raider to ever play in the Masters.
