VILLANOVA, Pa. – Golf will be taking on their final scheduled event of the season over the next three days as they compete in the BIG EAST Tournament at Callawassie Island Golf Club in Okatie, S.C.

The Wildcats took sixth last year, and two of the golfers who recorded the second and third lowest round on the team, respectively, return to the event for Villanova.

THE LINEUP (LISTED IN 1-5 ORDER)
Ryan Pamer has been able to battle back from tough starts in each of his last three events to finish within the top of the competition. His most recent top 20 finish at Lafayette gave him his 25^th all-time. In Pamer's last time down south at the Golden Horseshoe Intercollegiate, he shot 74-71-69=214 (+1) to finish tied for eighth. In his first two matches of the spring, he recorded a round under 70.

Matt Zerfass shot 20-over 236 at Pete Dye Golf Club. In his first season since transferring over from Saint Joseph's, he shot a 75.2 stroke average.

Vibhav Alokam closes out his freshman season after quickly solidifying a spot in the lineup, participating in all 11 events that the Wildcats sent a starting lineup to in Division I stroke play events. He is the first freshman since Peter Weaver to play in every event in his first season on The Main Line. Alokam currently has the second lowest stroke average on the team at 74.6.

The final two in the lineup will close out illustrious college careers in this event.

Gus Vickers finished tied for 71^st in West Virginia. He shot the second lowest round of all Wildcats, shooting a 73 in the second round.

Jackson Lehner has placed within the top three Villanova finishers in all but two tournaments this year and has finished within the top 20 two of his last three events. His last time out he tied for ninth at the Abarta Coca-Cola Collegiate Invitational, shooting even (144) across the 36-hole tournament.

Joshua Lavely will substitute in as the sixth golfer if needed during the tournament.

All five golfers that Villanova is sending out are currently the top five on the squad in stroke average, led by Pamer at 73.4, with Lavely slotting in seventh.
