SEATTLE β The University of Washington men's golf team hosts the 2018 Husky Invitational in Sammamish, Wash., this week as it welcomes 11 squads to one of its home courses, Aldarra Golf Course on Tuesday-Wednesday, Sept 25-26. The two-day 54-hole event will feature 36 holes in continuous rounds on Tuesday with the final 18 coming on Wednesday on the par-71, 6,911, yard course.
FROM COACH MURRAY:Β "We're excited to host this tournament, it's the first we've hosted since I joined the Husky program so it's great that our squad will be able to play in front of their home fans. We have three freshmen in the lineup again and it's going to be a really good experience for them. Aldarra is a course that we know really well and it's in great condition. They do a great job and we are happy to be able to showcase one of our home courses during this tournament. We're looking forward to getting the tournament underway and for us as coaches, with such a young roster, it's exciting to get out there and watch this group grow and develop over each event."
THE FIELD:Β Washington will be joined by 11 other teams at Aldarra. The 12-team field includes Boise State, Seattle U, Washington State, Idaho, San Jose State, Nevada, Long Beach State, Hawaii, San Diego along with delegations from Sweden and Taiwan.Β
THE LINEUP:Β The Huskies will play Paul Margolis, Jan Schneider, Henry Lee, Robert Moran, Noah Woolsey and Ranveer Grewal in the six-count-five event. Additionally, William Mansfield and Shamu Bodhidatta will compete as individuals.
Β
LAST TIME OUT: The Huskies opened the season with a 12th-place showing at the prestigious Gopher Invitational which featured eight teams that advanced to the NCAA Championships a season ago. Playing with a lineup of three freshmen, one sophomore and one junior, the Huskies saw growth and development as junior Henry Lee recorded his fourth career top 10 effort with a eighth-place showing.
Β
FRESH ROSTER:Β Also most half of the Huskies roster for 2018-19 will be new to Montlake this season as the Dawgs welcome freshmenΒ Paul MargolisΒ (Cannes, France),Β Robert MoranΒ (Dublin, Ireland),Β Ranveer GrewalΒ (Ludhiana, Indiana) andΒ Padraic SimΒ (Spanish Fort, Alabama). The newcomers bring a wealth of international experience as three come to Seattle from outside of the country.
Β

Lee competed in 13 events including earning a spot at the NCAA Pacific Regional alongsideΒ Carl Yuan. He averaged a 72.37, posted two top 10 showings with his best being a sixth-place tie while also shooting under par in 15 of his 38 rounds. Woolsey averaged 72.91 in his 12 events and finished in the top two of the lineup for UW in six of those outings.

FALL SCHEDULE:Β Head coachΒ Alan MurrayΒ didn't hold back when scheduling the Huskies fall slate as UW will traverse the country and play on some impressive courses against some of the top teams in the country.
