LARAMIE, Wyoming (3/16/25) – The University of Wyoming men’s golf team is ready to compete in the Arizona Thunderbirds Intercollegiate. The tournament, played at Tucson Country Club, spans from Monday to Tuesday.

The course stretches 7,533 yards and is a par 72. Thirty-six holes will be completed Monday beginning at 8:45 a.m. with the final 18 on Tuesday.  

This marks the fourth consecutive season in which the Cowboys have participated in the Thunderbirds Intercollegiate. Last year, Wyoming enjoyed its best finish during that span, taking fifth with Kristof Panke leading the way in 22nd place.

Wyoming is fresh off a 12th-place finish at the Lamkin Invitational in Chula Vista, California. That represented the third tournament of the spring for the Pokes. They also took sixth at the Wyoming Desert Intercollegiate and began the spring with an eighth-place finish at the Arizona N.I.T.

Brody Leid has rounded into form in this his freshman season. He’s paced the Pokes each of the last two tournaments with a pair of top-25 finishes.

Panke, Jaren Calkins, Patrick Azevedo and Damon Vilkauskas round out the Cowboys’ lineup. Davis Seybert will be competing as an individual.

Following the Thunderbirds Intercollegiate, Wyoming goes to the Duck Invite. That tournament is March 24-25 in Eugene, Oregon.
