The elimination of the today's round reduces the stroke-play qualifying and determination of the individual champion to 54 holes. Originally, there was to be a first team cut on Sunday (May 21) to the top 15 teams, which would advance and play Monday (May 22) to determine the top eight teams for match play, as well as determine the individual champion. Now, the 24-team field will not have the first cut and play through Monday with the top eight teams moving on to matches Tuesday and Wednesday (May 23-24).
The Wolverines will be part of Sunday's second wave and will again be paired with Ohio State and Purdue, however, all three Big Ten schools will start off the 10th tee beginning at 12:30 p.m. CDT.
