The tournament features four teams ranked in the top 50 in Golfweek's final men's team collegiate rankings last season: Florida State (7), Arizona (22), Arkansas (32), NC State (49).

ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT: The second Folds of Honor Collegiate, contested at renowned American Dunes Golf Club. in Grand Haven, Michigan, is more than just a college golf tournament. This year's Folds of Honor Collegiate features a College-Am on Sunday, Sept. 3, followed that evening with a welcome party, highlighted by an appearance by golf icon and
American Dunes designer Jack Nicklaus, live entertainment, and a Long Drive Contest
involving all 18 schools.
ABOUT THE COURSE: The story of American Dunes started when Jack Nicklaus donated his design fee, proclaiming, "I love the game of golf, but I love my country even more." The mutual dream of Nicklaus and Lt Col Rooney was to build a course with a mission; raise funds and awareness for Folds of Honor. Over the next two years, American Dunes would come to life a few hundred yards from the east shore of Lake Michigan. The stunning design is a journey through massive sand dunes and culminates with the Honor Wall behind No. 18 green. Finally, each team will carry an honor bag tag, representing the Folds of Honor recipients at each of their schools.
LAST SEASON AT THE FOLDS OF HONOR: Air Force was the top service academy at the inaugural Folds of Honor Collegiate tournament, Sept. 26-28, 2022 at the American Dunes Golf Club in Grand Haven, Mich. The Falcons finished in 12th-place at 930. Navy was 13th at 931 and Army was 16th at 943. Cameron Kahle was the top Falcon over the 54-hole tournament with a 228 (+12, 76-78-74). Alvaro Fonseca shot 231 followed by Isaac Layne (239), Brooke Morrell (241) and Maxwell Heupel (243). Illinois, ranked 11th in the nation, won the 18-team tournament with an 854 (-10). Arizona was second (869), Florida State was third (874) and Oregon State was fourth (877).
LOOKING AT THE FALCONS: Air Force returns seven of its top eight players from a year ago, with the only loss being team captain and MVP Isaac Layne to graduation. Senior Aaron Kuznik will serve as the team captain this season. Junior Cameron Kahle played in all 32 rounds last season and was second on the team in season stroke average. Sophomore Alvaro Fonseca was third on the team in stroke average last season, followed by junior Chris Park and sophomore Brooks Morrell. The Falcons also return sophomore Ted Davenport, senior Maxwell Heupel and sophomore Eric Liveringhouse. The Falcons also welcome five freshmen this season, Carson Baker, Eli Huntington, Alex Lynch, Jake Myre and Grant Samuelson.
MIRANDA ON THE HORIZON: Air Force will host the 54th Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational, Sept. 10-12, at the Air Force Academy's Eisenhower Course.
