The Nebraska men’s golf team returns to action early next week when the Huskers travel to North Carolina to compete in the Qubein Cup.
The two-day, 54-hole event on a 7,130-yard, par-71 layout at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro represents the first home tournament ever hosted by High Point University.
Action begins on Monday with two rounds starting at 8 a.m. (CT), followed by Tuesday’s final round. Fans can follow the live scoring at scoreboard.clippd.com and Tuesday’s final round will include live streaming video of the 18th hole on ESPN+.
Nebraska’s lineup in the 5-count-4 scoring format will take on a strong 13-team field in North Carolina that includes Michigan and Penn State from the Big Ten, along with Texas A&M from the SEC and Virginia Tech from the ACC, in addition to Chattanooga, Coastal Carolina, College of Charleston, Colorado State, Davidson, Furman, UNC Wilmington and the hosts from High Point.
Hamish Murray leads the Huskers to Wisconsin after notching his third straight top-25 finish to open the season by tying for 12th with a 215 (-1) at the Badger Invitational (Sept. 29-Oct. 1).
The senior from Sydney, Australia leads Nebraska with a 71.44 stroke average over nine rounds this season.
Rudy Sautron will play out of the No. 2 spot in the lineup for the Huskers at High Point after producing his second top-25 finish of the year with his tie for 15th at even-par 216 in Wisconsin. The transfer from Reunion Island, France opened his Husker career by winning the Gopher Invitational (Sept. 8-9) with a Nebraska sophomore record 208 (-5) to earn the inaugural Big Ten Golfer-of-the-Week award for the season (Sept. 12). He carries a 71.67 stroke average with him to North Carolina.
Redshirt sophomore Evan McDermott continued his solid play by tying for 36th with a 222 (+6) at the Badger Invite. McDermott owns a 72.89 stroke average over nine rounds, including a career-best 211 (-2) to tie for 11th individually at the Git-R-Done Invitational.

Sautron Makes Major Splash in Winning Nebraska Debut
Rudy Sautron made his NCAA Division I debut as a Husker by capturing the tournament title at the season-opening Gopher Invitational (Sept. 8-9). The sophomore from Reunion Island, France, who transferred to Nebraska after spending his first collegiate season at NCAA Division II Cameron University in Oklahoma, tied the Nebraska sophomore tournament record with a 208 (-5) at the Windsong Farm Golf Club in Independence, Minn.
Sautron’s three-round total included an opening-round 69 (-2) that featured Nebraska’s first eagle of the season on No. 18. He added a second-round 70 (-1) before closing with a final-round 69 (-2). His 208 matched the NU sophomore record set by former PGA pro Brady Schnell (2004-05) and Seth Porter (1999-2000).
Sautron’s performance helped the Huskers to a third-place team finish in a strong 15-team field in Minnesota - Nebraska’s best team finish since 2021.
His effort also earned him a share of the first Big Ten Conference Men’s Golfer-of-the-Week award for the 2024-25 season announced Sept. 12.

He continued his impressive play by tying for 12th at 215 (-1) at the Badger Invitational (Sept. 29-Oct. 1).
Murray, who owns eight top-25 showings in 13 tournaments as a Husker, has shot 74 or better in eight of his nine rounds this season, including a Husker career-best 66 (-6) in the second round of the Badger Invite (Sept. 30).
Murray, who led Nebraska with a 72.69 stroke average as a junior in 2023-24, owns a team-best 71.44 stroke average over nine rounds early in 2024-25.
He opened his Husker career with three straight top-20 finishes, including a season-best tie for ninth in his Nebraska debut at the Bearcat Invitational (Sept. 18-19, 2023). He closed with a three-round score of 211 (-2) on a par-71, 7,279-yard layout at the Coldstream Country Club in Cincinnati.
Murray produced a tie for 19th with a 215 (-1) at the Badger Invitational in Wisconsin (Oct. 1-3), before tying for 17th at Purdue with a 214 (+1).
Murray closed the fall with a tie for 33rd with an even-par 216 at the Everett Buick GMC Classic in Little Rock, Ark., Oct. 16-17.
He added his fourth top-20 effort by tying for 19th at 146 (73-73) in the rain-shortened Battle at Briar’s Creek in South Carolina (Feb. 5-6). He added another tie for 19th with a 214 (-2) to lead NU at The Johnnie-O at Sea Island (March 11-12).
During the summer of 2024, Murray was the runner-up at the Nebraska Amateur Championship with a four-round total of 274 (-10), trailing only champion Reed Malleck (273, -11).
Murray, who was a 2024 GCAA Scholar All-American and a College Sports Communicators Academic All-District VII selection, also took time during the summer to participate in the Nebraska Life Skills No Filter Service Trip Abroad to Panama.
Murray was ranked among the top 50 golfers in NCAA Division II by Golfstat in 2022-23 and was the Cameron Athlete of the Year across all sports.
