LUBBOCK, Texas – The Texas Tech men's golf team will play its final regular-season tournament of the year this weekend at the El Macero Classic in California starting on Friday with the final round Sunday at the El Macero Country Club.
The No. 10-ranked Red Raiders will be represented at the 54-hole tournament by Sandy Scott, Ivan Ramirez, Adam Blomme, Kyle Hogan, Markus Braadlie and Jansen Smith who will be playing as an individual at the par-72, 7,108-yard course in El Macero, California. Tech, which is scheduled to begin play at 10:55 a.m. (CST) on Friday, completed one round last weekend at the Aggie Invitational in Bryan before rain canceled the event at the Traditions Golf Club.

Texas Tech is coming off a second-place finish at the Lake Charles Invitational two weeks ago in Lake Charles, Louisiana led by Scott who finished as the tournament after shooting 64-65-74 – 203 which was 13-under-par. A junior from Scotland, Scott is currently ranked No. 16 in the nation with a 70.20 scoring average this season and has earned a spot on the Arnold Palmer Cup International Team along with Ramirez.
