Kampen Course
The Kampen Course, a Pete Dye design, is an 18-hole, links-style, par-72 championship golf course featuring large bent-grass greens, fairways and tees. The layout presents a challenge for golfers of all abilities with vast sand bunkers, native grasslands, ponds and a natural celery bog. Kampen offers five sets of tees with the championship tees playing over 7,400 yards and the forward tees playing at 5,300 yards. Kampen is rated one of the top collegiate courses in the nation and has been awarded 4.5 stars on Golf Digest's "Places to Play." Kampen receives high marks as it is ranked as one of the most difficult golf courses in Indiana. The course has also played host to a number of prestigious collegiate and public tournaments such as the 2000 Men's Big Ten Championship, the 2003 Women's NCAA Championship, the 2004 Indiana Open, the 2005 Women's Western Amateur, and the 2008 Men's NCAA Championship. The course is named in honor of Emerson Kampen and his support of Purdue Athletics. Mr. Kampen's statue overlooks the first tee.
Mastodon Lineup
Kasey Lilly, Burke Pitz, Luke Miller, Parker Deakyne and Jacob Deakyne will play for the team score. There will be no individuals.
Lilly The Leader
Kasey Lilly has finished in the top-10 three times in his career, including two this year. He also has one top-five finish, which came last week at the Wright State Invitational. Lilly also holds the best career scoring average (73.71), win/loss percentage (.746) and season scoring average (72.8) of any player in Mastodon program history.
Last Time Out
Kasey Lilly tied for fifth at the Wright State Invitational after tying the program's 18-hole record of 66 on the final day. The team finished fourth of the 17-team field, second among the nine Horizon League schools in the field.
