UCF will face a strong field at the 15-team event, which includes Charleston Southern, Creighton, High Point, Howard, Jacksonville, Kennesaw State, Lipscomb, Mercer, UAB, UConn, host USC Upstate, Western Carolina, Winthrop and Wofford.
The Knights will roll out their same lineup from their first two tournaments of the season that consists of Luis Carrera, Egor Eroshenko, Markus Braadlie, Juan Camilo Vesga and Johnny Travale. Clement Charmasson will compete in the event as an individual to make his season debut.
The Tom Jackson designed, 18-hole championship layout thought to be among the best courses in the Upstate, the Carolina Country Club meanders through a beautiful natural setting that brings its stream and signature lake into play on several holes. The course can stretch as long as 7,000 yards from the championship tee and play as short as 4,700 yards from the red tee. With six sets of tees available, The Carolina Country Club is both a challenge and a treat to play for all skill levels.
Their recently renovated Champion Ultra-dwarf Bermuda grass greens are in excellent condition, along with the 419 Bermuda grass fairways and teeing grounds. A wonderful complement to a great course are the extensive practice facilities, which include a full length driving range, 100-yard short range, pitching and chipping practice green and 4,500 square foot practice putting green.
UCF men's golf is looking for a bounce back performance at the Carolina Cup following a tough showing at the Blessings Collegiate Invitational, which saw the squad finish with a three-round score of 904 (+40). Travale finished with a three-round score of 214 to end play in the tournament two strokes under par, tying for fifth place. He carded a 68 (-4) in the final round, after firing a 71 in the opening round and a 75 in the second round.
