Texas junior golfer Scottie Scheffler was selected as one of three national golfers to play in the World Amateur Team Championship, the International Golf Federation announced on Monday.
Scheffler, alongside Maverick McNealy of Stanford and Brad Dalke of Oklahoma, will compete in four rounds of stroke play in Riviera Maya, Mexico Sept. 21-24.
The competition takes place every two years and the winners take possession of the Eisenhower Trophy.
Beau Hossler, who decided to forgo his senior season at Texas to turn pro, competed in 2014’s competition in Japan and helped the U.S. earn the Eisenhower Trophy for a record 15th time.
