The Wyoming Cowboys will conclude what has already been a very successful 2019 fall season this coming Friday-Sunday, Nov. 1-3 at the Ka'anapali Classic Collegiate Invitational in Ka'anapali, Maui, Hawai'i.
   
The tournament, which is hosted by the University of Hawai'i, will be played on the Royal Ka'anapali Golf Course.
   
Wyoming will face a field of 20 teams that includes eight of the Top 50 ranked teams in the country as of the most recent Golfstat Rankings (Oct. 29, 2019) for the 2019-20 college golf season.

"This tournament, along with the William H. Tucker Invitational in Albuquerque, are the two national tournaments we're playing this fall," said Joe Jensen, University of Wyoming Director of Golf.  "This is our third year receiving an invite to the Ka'anapali Classic.  It is a special event, with a lot of nationally-ranked teams.  We're coming here with the goal of playing very competitively with these top ranked programs.

"Now being here for the third year, I think we have a process of how we want to prepare for this event.  Maybe in the first year as a new team you are a little bit in awe of the entire event, but this week I am trying to keep the guys on as normal a schedule as I can.  We've had study hall.  Our preparation for the tournament is the same as our preparation has been for our other tournaments this fall.  We are doing some things with the guys while we're over here to give them some balance and allow them to enjoy this event,  but I want to keep our preparation as consistent as possible.
 
"I think the guys are excited to compete against some new teams, and I know we'll play hard."
