Louisiana part of 19-team field in 54-hole event
LAREDO, Texas – After having its 2021 Spring opener at the All-American Intercollegiate postponed due to last week's severe winter weather, the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Men's Golf team heads back to the Lone Star State as it officially tees off when it begins play on Monday at the annual Border Olympics at the Laredo Country Club.
Â
Louisiana will open play on Monday with 54 holes beginning with an 8:30 a.m., shotgun start before playing the final 18 holes on Tuesday. Live results will be available at both GolfStat.com and RaginCajuns.com.

The Ragin' Cajuns, who will play for the first time Oct. 19-20, 2020 at the Little Rock Invitational, will be a part of a 19-team field that includes host Houston plus Abilene Christian, Baylor, Bowling Green, Eastern Michigan, Houston Baptist, Illinois State, Kent State, Lamar, Little Rock, Michigan, New Mexico State, Rice, Sam Houston State, Texas, Texas A&M, ULM and UTSA.
Â
Hunter Hammett, who posted a 71.33 scoring average in six rounds of play in the fall, leads Louisiana's five-man lineup in the event with the top four scores counting in the standings. The junior capped off the fall with his best overall performance at the collegiate level with a fourth-place finish with his low round (69) and 54-hole score (210) at the Little Rock Invitational.
