Ryan Bilby, Christian Boyd, Clayton Thomas and Joseph Kalaskey are four of the 120 players that will take to the Meadows Course and Old White for the four-day event.
"I am really looking forward to watching Ryan, Christian, Joseph and Clayton compete this week at The Greenbrier," Marshall men's golf coach Matt Grobe said. "They are all coming off a solid spring and should be in contention this week."
Bilby with be the first Marshall golfer off the tee in the first round, which is taking place at the Meadows course. He will tee off at 9:30 a.m.
Christian Boyd will be the next current Marshall golfer to start his round, taking the tee box at 11:54 a.m.
Kalaskey will follow in the next group, joining former Marshall golfer Jonathan Clark in the 12:03 p.m. pairing.
Thomas, who won Low Medalist honors at the Am qualifier at Guyan Country Club, rounds out the current Marshall contingent at 12:57 p.m.
All those players will be looking to chase down former Marshall golfer Noah Mullens, who won the title last year.
Mullens is also locked in the day's featured pairing at 12:30 p.m., which puts him with a heralded group of former Marshall golfers in Sam O'Dell and Christian Brand.
"We have a lot of former Marshall golfers representing our program in the field this week," Grobe said. "It should make for a great week of golf."
