Campbell Men's Golf Opens 2007-08 Campaign at New Mexico

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell University opens its 2007-08 men's golf season this weekend at the New Mexico William H. Tucker Invitational.

The 54-hole tournament begins with 36 holes on Friday with a 7:30 a.m. (MDT) shot-gun start at the University of New Mexico Championship Course in Albuquerque. The final 18 holes start Saturday at 7:30 a.m. Live scoring will be available on-line at www.golfstat.com.

The 7,350-yard, par 72 layout has been nationally recognized by Golf Digest Magazine as one of the top-25 public courses in the country, and by Golfweek Magazine as the No. 1 course to play in New Mexico. The University of New Mexico Championship Course was the site of the 1976, 1992 and 1998 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships as well as 1991, 1995 and 2002 NCAA West Regional, Nationwide Tour events and the New Mexico State Open. In 1987 the course was the site of the Women's NCAA Championship and will again host the ladies championships in 2008.

Coach John Crooks' Fighting Camels, who won four tournament titles a year ago, will be led by 2007 Atlantic Sun first-team all-conference performer Fredric Sundberg. The senior from Gothenburg, Sweden posted a 72.1 stroke average last season and finished among the top 10 individuals seven times in 12 events, including a victory at the William & Mary Invitational. He finished fifth at the A-Sun Championship and received an at-large berth in the '07 NCAA East Regional.

Sophomores Gregg Hostetter and Daniel Ng Choo Sian will also make the trip. Hostetter compiled a 74.2 stroke average during his freshman campaign and had five top-20 individual finishes. Ng Choo Sian averaged 77.6 strokes over 12 rounds in 2006-07 and produced a pair of top-20 finishes.

A pair of freshmen -- Matt Moot of Johnstown, Pa., and Cristobal Beltramin from Santiago, Chile – will make their collegiate debuts for the Camels this weekend.
