The fourth-ranked Carolina men's golf team faces a challenging golf course and loaded field when the Tar Heels compete at the Valspar Collegiate Invitational Monday and Tuesday at the Floridian National Golf Club in Palm City, Fla.
UNC senior Dylan Menante is the defending individual champion, shooting 14-under 199 last March to take the title by one stroke over Florida State's Frederik Kjettrup. Menante, who was playing for Pepperdine, shot 64-65-70 for his first of two consecutive tournament titles (he won in his next start at the Western Intercollegiate).
The Tar Heels are one of six top-10 and nine top-30 teams in the tournament.
