LAS CRUCES, N.M. – Beginning Monday at 8:15 a.m., golf fans will be in for a treat as the only home tournament of the year for NM State men's golf tees off. The Aggies will host eight other teams in the Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate, alongside a strong field of individual competitors.
 
Reigning WAC Golfer of the Month Garrison Smith will lead the way for NM State, playing in the top slot. The one-two punch of Smith and Aidan Thomas will once again be just that as Thomas finds himself in the second spot of the Aggie lineup.
 
After finishing seventh at the 2021 Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate, Alvaro Morales will find himself in the middle of the Aggie lineup this week. Newcomers Javier Delgadillo and Alexandre Bauduin will also get their first chances to play competitively on the NM State home course.  Delgadillo and Bauduin will round out the NM State lineup, playing fourth and fifth, respectively.
 
River Smalley, Lance Christensen, and Joseph Robson will compete in the two-day event as individuals.
