Carolina opens the 2017-18 men's golf season with a stern test against a nationally-competitive field when the Tar Heels travel to Illinois for the Olympia Fields/Fighting Illini Invitational.
The 54-hole event is scheduled for Friday through Sunday, Sept. 15-17, at the Olympia Fields Country Club, which is located 25 miles south of Chicago and has hosted U.S. Opens in 1928 and 2003 and a pair of PGA Championships.
Andrew DiBitetto is in his seventh year in Chapel Hill; he was elevated to head coach this past July after six seasons on staff and the past three as the associate head coach.
