WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- The Samford University men's golf team will compete in its final tournament of the 2015 regular season this week, Monday and Tuesday, as the Bulldogs square off against 12 highly-touted teams in the second-annual Greenbrier Collegiate being held at the historic Old White TPC Course.
 
The two-day, three-round tournament is hosted by Bowling Green State University and held at the pristine par-70, 7,287-yard course nestled in the heart of the Allegheny Mountains.
 
ABOUT THE COURSE
The Old White TPC, the first 18-hole golf course at The Greenbrier, opened in 1914 and just completed celebrating its 100th anniversary. A legend of Greenbrier golf history, the course was named for the well-known Old White Hotel, which stood on the grounds from 1858 to 1922.

President Woodrow Wilson was one of the first golfers to play The Old White TPC in April of 1914. This historic course features generous fairways and challenging, undulated greens. Every hole is memorable and has a well-defined strategy for success.

Charles Blair Macdonald, the father of American golf course architecture, designed the course and modeled several holes from some of the most famous European holes. The Old White TPC Course's Hole 8 was styled after the Redan at North Berwick; Hole 13 after the Alps at Prestwick; and Hole 15 after the Eden at St. Andrew's.

Over the years, golf greats including Ben Hogan, Byron Nelson, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson have played these challenging greens. Sam Snead shot his final hole-in-one on The Old White TPC's Hole 18 in 1995.

In 2010, The Old White TPC hosted the inaugural Greenbrier Classic, a PGA TOUR, FedExCup Event. Past champions have included Stuart Appleby (2010), Scott Stallings (2011), Ted Potter, Jr. (2012), Jonas Blixt (2013) and Àngel Cabrera (2014).

In 2011, it was announced that The Old White is now The Old White TPC, joining the most prestigious golf courses in the nation within the PGA TOUR's The Tournament Player's Club Network.

THE LAST TIME OUT
Samford turned in its best round of the 2015 Furman Intercollegiate on March 29, as the Bulldogs carded a day-three total of 299 in the 18-team competition held at the par-72, 6,994-yard Furman University Golf Club.
 
Samford improved in each and every round of the 54-hole tournament and vaulted Presbyterian College for the 17^th-place position on the final day of competition. The Bulldogs opened play with a lackluster first-round score of 315, but bounced back with a second-day mark of 301.
 
Samford finished the tournament with a team total of 915 (315-301-299). The Bulldogs' third-round total of 299 proved to be better than seven opponents' scores.
 
Samford's Garrett Moores played a huge role in the Bulldogs' improvement during the weekend.
 
Moores, Samford's talented sophomore from Huntsville, Alabama, registered the team's best score of the tournament with a third-round mark of 3-under par 69. Moores finished the weekend with a 3-over par 219 and placed 22^nd in the individual standings out of 114 competitors.
 
Rounding out the Bulldogs' scores in the tournament were Ashton Nix (81-75-75=231), Austin Jackson (79-78-75=232), Robert Adams (78-75-80=233) and Mac Hennessy (82-85-84=251).
