THE 2004 MWC CHAMPIONSHIPS:
The 2004 Mountain West Conference Men's Golf Championship will be held April 29-May 1 at Sunriver Resort in Sunriver, Ore. This will mark the fourth consecutive year the event will be held at the resort. The men will once again play the Crosswater Course (Par 72/7,270). Situated on 600 magnificently scenic acres of woodlands and carefully preserved wetlands, Crosswater is threaded by the gently flowing Deschutes and Little Deschutes Rivers.
The three-day tournament will consist of all eight schools from the conference: Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, New Mexico, San Diego State, UNLV, Utah and Wyoming. The teams will tee-off at 9:30 a.m. (PT), in a paired format. The Utes will tee-off with Colorado State on Thursday morning for the first of three rounds of competition. To follow all the action, live stats for the tournament will be available at www.theMWC.com.
