Action will start on Monday, April 3, with a 36-hole day starting at 10:00 a.m. CT. Those two rounds will be par-71 and played on a 7,233-yard course. The final 18 holes, played Tuesday, April 4, at 10:00 a.m. CT will be par-70 and 7,057 yards.
The Wildcats will be a part of an 18-team field, including two teams — DePaul (+40) and Princeton (+16) — that NU has finished above in previous competition this season.
Last time out, Northwestern placed second out of 12 teams with an 11-under 853 at the Desert Mountain Intercollegiate on March 4-5. Wu, Northwestern's lowest scorer this season and the 25th-best collegiate golfer in the nation per Golfweek, led the way with a seven-under 209, including a four-under 68 in the middle round. Sixteen of his 20 rounds this season have been under-par, including eight in the 60s.
Hawkins, playing as an individual at Desert Mountain, carded a four-under 212, including Northwestern's low round of 67 this season. Lumsden finished with an even 216 thanks to a middle-round 69.
Overall, the 'Cats have finished a combined 29-strokes under par over the last five stroke play competitions.
The 'Cats are playing the tail-end of their 2016-17 slate. After a final regular season tournament in West Lafayette, Indiana, on April 15-16, Northwestern travels to Baltimore, Maryland, for the Big Ten Championships on April 28-30.
