MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – After a runner-up finish at the Sam Ryder Intercollegiate in Daytona Beach, Fla., the Baylor men’s golf team will play on the east coast again at the Michael A. Marino Classic that starts Sunday at the Dunes Golf and Beach Club.



Hosted by Coastal Carolina, the 16-team tournament includes four top-50 programs – No. 33 Louisville, 37th-ranked UNLV, No. 47 Arkansas-Little Rock and No. 50 Florida Gulf Coast.



The Bears’ third tournament of the spring also includes North Carolina State, Kansas State, Michigan and Missouri from Power Four conferences, along with College of Charleston, Liberty, Furman, Louisiana, North Florida and Kent State.



Coming off back-to-back top-25 finishes with four rounds of par or better, Auburn transfer Evan Vo heads a Baylor lineup that includes seniors Jonas Appel and Sam Dossey, UConn transfer Alex Heard and junior Davis Ovard.



That was the same lineup used by interim head coach Ryan Murphy for the Sam Ryder tournament, where the Bears had their highest finish in two years. Appel is second on the team with a 72.52-stroke average and has finished in the top 15 in three of his last five tournaments.



Paired with Michigan and Furman, Baylor will start Sunday’s first round on the front nine with tee times between 8:30 and 9:06 a.m.  Live scoring is available at The Michael A. Marino<https://scoreboard.clippd.com/tournaments/239036/scoring/team>.
