The Course:
The Kampen Course is a unique links-style layout with strategically placed waste bunkers, native grasslands, man-made wetlands and large greens. Measuring over 7,400 yards from the championship tees and just over 5,000 from the forward tees, it's a true test of golf for all players. Difficulty exponentially increases as the tee-choice moves back so great emphasis should be placed on the proper set of tees to play.
The Kampen Course, a Pete Dye design, is an 18-hole, links-style, par-72 championship golf course featuring large bent-grass greens, fairways and tees. The layout presents a challenge for golfers of all abilities with vast sand bunkers, native grasslands, ponds and a natural celery bog. Kampen offers five sets of tees with the championship tees playing over 7,400 yards and the forward tees playing at 5,300 yards.
Kampen is rated one of the top collegiate courses in the nation and has been awarded 4.5 stars on Golf Digest's "Places to Play." Kampen receives high marks as it is ranked as one of the most difficult golf courses in Indiana. The course has also played host to a number of prestigious collegiate and public tournaments such as the 2000 Men's Big Ten Championship, the 2003 Women's NCAA Championship, the 2004 Indiana Open, the 2005 Women's Western Amateur, and the 2008 Men's NCAA Championship.
The Field:
The full field of competitors at the West Lafayette Regional consist of 13 teams and 10 individuals. For Go's sake, he needs to be the top individual golfer not on one of the five teams that advances to the National Championship. That top individual will also advance.
