THIS WEEK: The Air Force golf team hosts the 56th Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational, Saturday-Monday, Sept. 20-22, at the Academy's Eisenhower Golf Course. This is a two-part event with the team competition being played on the Blue Course and the individual event on the Silver Course. Golfers will play 18 holes each day. The 23-team, 54-hole tournament, begins at 8:30 am MT on Saturday, Sept. 20. Live scoring will be available HERE.
THE FIELD: Along with Air Force, the 23-team field includes: Boise State, Cal Baptist, Cal State Northridge, Denver, Gonzaga, Hawaii, Idaho, Incarnate Word, Nevada, Northern Colorado, San Jose State, Southern Utah, UC Davis, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, Utah State, Utah Tech, Utah Valley, UT-Arlington, Weber State and Wyoming.
ABOUT THE TOURNAMENT: The Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational is in its 56th season. Formerly known as the Rocky Mountain Invitational and the Pikes Peak Invitational, the event was re-named the Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational in 2003 to honor the legendary coach who headed up the Air Force program for 25 years and is a member of the Air Force Athletics' Hall of Fame.
EISENHOWER GOLF COURSE: The Blue Course of the Eisenhower Golf Club opened in the 1959 and is named after former President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who took part in the dedication ceremony. The 7,541 yard, par 72 course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., and was ranked as the third best military course in the nation (PGA.com) and the 24th best college course (Golf Week) in the country. The Silver Course, designed by an excellent Colorado architect, Frank Hummel, is the newer of the two Eisenhower courses. It is shorter than the Blue Course, but makes up for its lack of length with fast, tricky greens, narrow fairways and many hazards.
THE LINEUP: 1-Ted Davenport; 2-Carson Baker; 3-Eli Huntington; 4-Eric Liveringhouse; 5-Brooks Morrell. Individuals-Lincoln Blake, Alvaro Fonseca, Grant Samuelson, Jackson Scaletta, Ben Zeiler.
LAST SEASON: Air Force finished 10th at the 55th Gene Miranda Falcon Invitational. The Falcons shot a 290 (+2) on the final day and finished with an 878 (+14) for the 54-hole tournament. The 10th place finish and the 878 were the best by the Falcons at the GMFI since the 2019 team placed fourth at 862 (-2). Eli Huntington was the top Falcon in the 2024 tournament, placing sixth of 110 golfers with a 213 ( -3), shooting 76-70-67. CSU's Matthew Wilkinson won the individual title with a 206 (-10). Colorado State won the team title for the third straight season, finishing with an 850 (-14). In the individual event on the Silver Course, Wyoming's Davis Seybert won the event with a 207 (-9), going 68-69-70.
LAST WEEK: Air Force shot a 287 on the final day of the fourth annual Folds of Honor Collegiate, at the American Dunes Golf Course in Grand Haven, Mich. Air Force's 287 (+3) in the final round is the best the Falcons have ever shot at the Folds of Honor at American Dunes. The 287 also allowed the Falcons to finish ahead of Army on the final day of the tournament. The team score of 905 was the best by the Falcons since the Loyola Intercollegiate, Feb. 27, 2024. Baker and Davenport led the Falcons over the 54-hole tournament, each shooting 227 (+14). Huntington finished at 228, followed by Liveringhouse (232) and Morrell (236). Alabama, ranked 18th in the nation, won the event for the second straight season with an 847 (-5). Air Force was 14th at 905.
MORRELL AT THE STEPHENS CUP: Air Force senior captain Brooks Morrell placed 32nd at the fifth annual Jackson T. Stephens Cup, Tuesday, Sept. 16, at the Shoreacres Golf Club in Lake Bluff, Ill.
