STORRS, Conn. – The UConn men's golf team picks play back up this week, heading to the Elon Phoenix Invitational at the Alamance Country Club in Burlington, NC.
The three round, 54-hole event takes place over two days on the 6,871-yard, par 71 course. Teams will play two rounds on Monday, October 14 with the final round contested on Tuesday, October 15.

Through two events this fall, Dennehy leads the team with a 72.2 per round scoring average.
Junior Connor Goode (Glastonbury, CT) is off to a strong start as well, playing three rounds at par or better and posting a 72.5 scoring average per round. He's finished inside the top-20 in both tournaments this season, including a sixth place finish at the UConn Invite.
