The Tech golf team ventured to the Caribbean last week looking for their seventh win in 28 total appearances at the Puerto Rico Classic. Although the Jackets had a strong history at this event, including six team wins and seven medalist honors, the team knew it was going to be a tall task to come out victorious. 15 teams participated in the event, six of whom are ranked in the top 50 by Golfstat, including the top-ranked Oklahoma Sooners.
In addition to this, the Puerto Rico Classic, which runs from Sunday to Tuesday and is held at Rio Mar Country Club provides an interesting test to collegiate golfers year after year due to the howling winds and hot ocean air.
