Gonzaga, Purdue set to clash again in first round matchup at Maui Invitational

Gonzaga will be quite familiar with its first-round opponent at the Maui Invitational. The same could be said for GU’s potential second and third matchups in the loaded eight-team field. The Zags will face Purdue, which returns all five starters, including national player of the year Zach Edey, from the team that crushed then-No. 6 Gonzaga 84-66 in the second round of the PK85 last November in Portland.

Jim Meehan: Wallace key part of Scott Almquist’s circuitous route to U.S. Senior Open

That’s how I came across the name Scott Almquist, of Wallace, Idaho, teeing off at 10:30 a.m. PDT on Thursday and 5 a.m. on Friday at the U.S. Senior Open in an email from the United State Golf Association. Cue my double take and curiosity to learn more about another accomplished player from our region.
