Baylor men's golf opens its postseason run on Monday morning when it tees off in the Morgan Hill Regional at The Institute Golf Club in Morgan Hill, Calif.</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;background:white"><o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:white;font-weight:normal">Head coach Mike McGraw leads Baylor into the postseason for the 24<sup>th</sup> time in the last 25 seasons, but the Bears will be facing
a relatively unknown course in The Institute, one of the most exclusive clubs in the country.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:white;font-weight:normal"><o:p> </o:p></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:white;font-weight:normal">“I never thought I would find a golf course more exclusive than Cypress Point, Pine Valley or Augusta National,” McGraw said. “This club
only has 35 members, and they're hosting a tournament like this for the first time, so you don’t know how they will set it up. Coach Mikkel [Bjerch-Andresen] and I did a tutorial with a guy who has caddied or played it over 40 times, and he went through the
whole golf course, which was really helpful. So we’re not going in blind.”<o:p></o:p></span></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black;background:white;font-weight:normal">Drew Wrightson will play at No. 2 for the fifth-straight event. The sophomore is coming off one of the best performances of his career
when he finished tied for sixth at the Big 12 Championship. In February, Wrightson finished tied for 5<sup>th</sup> in the Golden State at the Prestige in Palm Springs, Calif.
