AUBURN, Ala. – No. 1 Auburn men's golf looks to cap its regular season with a fourth consecutive win this week at the Mossy Oak Collegiate, April 15-16, at Mossy Oak Golf Club in West Point, Mississippi.
 
The Tigers have come out on top in all three of their previous tournaments, the Pinehurst Intercollegiate, Tiger Invitational and Seahawk Intercollegiate, and have found a pair of individual medalist performances via freshman Jackson Koivun and senior J.M. Butler.
 
Both men are back in action at Mossy Oak and are set to be joined by redshirt junior Carson Bacha, junior Brendan Valdes and freshman Josiah Gilbert. Sophomore Reed Lotter will play as an individual.
 
"We're at a really exciting point of the season," head coach Nick Clinard said. "We want to finish the regular season strong so we can carry that momentum right into the postseason. The task right in front of us is the most important one, so we're going to attack it with everything we've got."
 
Joining the Tigers on the quest for victory are the hosts, RV Mississippi State, as well as Arkansas Little Rock, Augusta, Cincinnati, Kansas State, Liberty, Louisiana, Louisiana Tech, Middle Tennessee, RV New Mexico State, No. 5 Ole Miss, Southern Miss and Troy.
 
Auburn will play Monday's 36 holes of competition alongside both Ole Miss and Mississippi State, going off the opening three holes. An 8 a.m. CT shotgun start will commence the day's action. Teams will revert to tee times for Tuesday's final set of 18.
