CINCINNATI - The Xavier Musketeers men's golf team is set to continue its spring season at the Golfweek/Stifel Spring Challenge, held at True Blue Golf Club in Pawleys Island, South Carolina, from March 31 – April 2. The Musketeers will look to build momentum in their fifth event of the spring as they take on a strong field at the par-72, Mike Strantz-designed course known for its wide fairways, strategic bunkering, and demanding greens.
