The University of South Florida men’s golf team will participate in the American Conference Championship from April 27 to April 29 at the Ritz-Carlton Members Club, according to an April 26 announcement. The event will feature three rounds with 18 holes played each day, and the Bulls are scheduled to begin play at 9:25 a.m. on Monday.
The championship will take place on a par-72, 7,417-yard course. The final round is set to be streamed live on ESPN+, with Sean Salisbury providing commentary.
USF’s lineup includes Wilhelm Ryding, Jackson Spybey, Hugo Trommetter, Joshua Stewart, and Nino Palmquist, with Roman Solomon serving as substitute. In their most recent outing at the Wofford Invitational, USF finished second out of thirteen teams and had three players tie for fourth place out of eighty-eight competitors.
Ryding leads the team with a stroke average of 70.00 and ranks No. 57 in NCAA men’s individual rankings by Clippd. He has achieved twelve rounds in the sixties this season and shares a team-high twenty-one rounds at par or better with Spybey. Ryding has also been named American Conference Men’s Golf Player of the Week three times this season.
Spybey holds a stroke average of 70.51 and recorded a school record nine-under-par sixty-three during the Linger Longer Invitational’s final round on March 22. Palmquist claimed victory at the Saint Leo Invitational earlier this year.
The eleven-team field for this championship includes Charlotte (ranked No. 22), East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Memphis, North Texas, Rice, Temple, UAB, UTSA and Wichita State.
USF’s men’s golf program has secured nineteen conference titles overall and six American Athletic Conference Tournament championships since joining that league—including four consecutive wins from 2015 through 2018—and is led by Steve Bradley who has earned five Coach of the Year honors since taking over in 2014.
