MINNEAPOLIS, Minn…The Kent State men's golf team begins its Fall 2023 season this weekend, participating in the Gopher Invitational in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Windsong Farm Golf Club.
The Golden Flashes have 11 student-athletes on the club this year, increasing last year's total of eight.
Jon Mills's team brings back seven returners, including two former MAC golfers of the year, Cade Breitenstine and Chris Vandette.
Four newcomers are welcoming themselves to the flash family, which includes two freshmen and two transfers. Edvin Backstrom and James Newton come in from Holy Names and Rutgers, while in-state products Daniel Heister and Connor Malicki are ready to contribute.
