LEXINGTON, Ky. – Tennessee Tech men's golf wraps up the regular season with an outstanding opportunity in the Bluegrass Invitational at the University Club of Kentucky, Big Blue Course, hosted by the Kentucky Wildcats.
The Golden Eagles end the regular season looking for a strong performance against a talented field at the Bluegrass Invitational. Haden Maxwell has been on a tear during the 2025-26 season, posting the second-lowest score in the OVC (70.8). Maxwell's 65 in the second round of the Grover Page Classic ties for the third-lowest round in the conference.
"Looking forward to getting to Lexington and competing in Kentucky's event as we finish up the regular season," said Head Coach Polk Brown. "Big Blue is a wonderful test and will be a great opportunity for these guys as we head into conference in a couple of weeks. Excited for the challenge ahead."
Tech currently holds the fourth-lowest average (290.7) in the OVC, trailing only SIUE (3rd; 286.9), UT Martin (2nd; 286.0), and Little Rock (1st; 284.9). The Golden Eagles tied for the fourth-lowest round in the OVC during the second round at the Grover Page Classic (273) on Sept. 15.
Maxwell enters this week's action with six top-five, six top-10, and eight top-20 finishes this season. He's carded a one-under average through 27 rounds.
