• Boise State (No. 50), Brigham Young (No. 49), and Nevada (No. 34) all sit inside the top 50 nationally of the most recent GolfStat national rankings. 
• It is forecasted to be a soggy first day of competition in Provo, providing additional challenges for the field. Currently, there is an 80% chance of rain on Friday. 
• Garrison Smith is coming off of a co-championship at the Bayou City Collegiate Classic last week. In his home state of Texas, Smith shot a 213 (-3) over the three rounds of competition.

COMING UP NEXT
