Tournament Bracket

While there may still be snow on the ground in Bowling Green, Ohio, the Bowling Green State University men's golf team is just days away from beginning its 2013 spring season. The Falcons will open play at the Mid-American Conference Match Play Event in Dade City, Fla., beginning on Feb. 11. The event is being held at Lake Jovita Golf and Country Club.

The field will include eight teams from the Mid-American Conference: Akron, Ball State, Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan, Miami University, Northern Illinois, Ohio and Toledo. The eight teams will compete in a double-elimination tournament. The two-day event will consist of 54 holes of match play competition. The first two rounds will played Monday with a shotgun start at 8 a.m. for the first round and continuous play for the second round. The third and final round will be Tuesday with an 8 a.m. shotgun start.

Sixth-seeded BGSU will square off with arch-rival three-seeded Toledo in round one. When the two teams begin play, six Falcons (Wes Gates, Ryan Triller, Joe Cooper, Charlie Olson, Chris Melvin and Holden Pahr) will compete against six Rockets in an individual match-play format. The team that wins the most matches will move on and face the winner of the Eastern Michigan versus Miami matchup.

The entire field breaks down as follows
1. Ball State vs.
8. Ohio

2. Akron vs.
7. Northern Illinois

3. Toledo vs.
6. Bowling Green
