A new match play contest featuring teams from four top universities comes from Twin Warriors in New Mexico – here are the details


The inaugural NB3 Collegiate Match Play at Twin Warriors features teams from four US universities in what promises to be two days of enthralling action in New Mexico.
The event is hosted by four-time PGA Tour winner Notah Begay III, and he certainly has high hopes for it, saying it will be “the largest and most prestigious golf event to be contested in New Mexico since UNM hosted the NCAA championships.”
Here are some of the essential details about the event.

The contest, which takes place on October 8 and 9, features a round-robin style match play between the four competing teams, who will have five male and female players on each.
Winning teams in each match will claim one point, with 0.5 points for a tie and 0 points for a loss.
Each team will play 36 holes on the first day and 18 holes on the final day. The competition will crown men's, women's and a university champion combining the points of the men's and women's matches.
The opening morning session sees a shotgun start with twosomes featuring male and females from all four teams on the course.

The second day features the same format of pairings as Tuesday. Again, men and women will play their own matches, but the points they earn will be combined to determine the overall team champion.
At the end of the second day, there will be a men’s team champion, a women’s team champion and a combined university champion.
