This year, the Wonder Boys will begin their National Championship quest at 11:16 a.m. on Monday morning as
Holden Hamilton will be the first off the tee box. Eleven minutes following that, his twin brother
Hayes Hamilton will tee off.
Henry Frizzell will be the third Wonder Boy on the course starting at 11:38 a.m.
Santiago De La Fuente will tee off at 11:49 a.m. and
Francois Jacobs will be the last on the course as he tees off at Noon.
De La Fuente, Frizzell and Jacobs were in the lineup a year ago when the Wonder Boys won the National Championship.
The Wonder Boys, who are paired in their opening round with Colorado Mesa and the University of Charleston, will play 18 holes each of the next three days as part of the stroke play portion of the DII Men's Golf National Championship format.
After 54 holes of action are completed on Wednesday, the top-eight teams in the standings from stroke play will advance to medal match play. That round starts on Thursday morning and the order of finish in stroke play will determine the initial matchups and bracket.
Thursday morning's first medal match play will be the quarterfinals of the tournament and the winners of those matches will advance to the afternoon medal match for the semifinal round. The two winners of the semifinal matches will then play one another in a head-to-head match for the team title on Friday.
