Frogs will face the conference in Salt Lake City
FORT WORTH – TCU will continue its fall season at the Big 12 Conference Match Play Tournament on Monday at The Country Club in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The three-day event at the University of Utah's home course features three rounds of pool play before advancing to bracket play and the championship round. The format includes three rounds of pool play with three four-team pools and one three-team pool. Teams were ranked and seeded by the Big 12 coaches.
All individual matches within the team match will produce a result (3&2, 1 up, halved) and will not be played beyond the 18th hole. An individual match win awards that team with one point. An individual match that remains tied after 18 holes awards each team with a half point. Once all individual matches are completed within a team match, the team with the greater point total will receive three points while the losing team receives zero points. If the match is tied at the end of all five individual matches, both teams receive one point.
Upon the conclusion of pool play, the top-ranked teams from each pool will face off in the Tuesday afternoon semifinals, with the championship match taking place Wednesday morning.
Each team will choose a lineup of five for each round. Those making the trip will be Toby Wilt, Sam Udovich, Charlie Wylie, Nathan Miller, Blake Brown and Cameron Kuchar.
