FORT WORTH – TCU senior Gustav Frimodt will play in the Genesis Invitational Collegiate Showcase on Monday at The Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif., with a TCU-clad foursome.
It features a top PGA Tour professional and a standout collegiate golfer paired with two amateurs competing in both a team and individual competition. Frimodt will play with TCU alums Eli Cole, Tom Hoge and Adam Rubinson.
Frimodt is in his fourth season at TCU. The Glamsbjerg, Denmark native's last tournament was his best performance. Frimodt defeated 15 of the top 30 amateurs in the world to win his first collegiate tournament, the Ben Hogan Collegiate Invitational, held at Colonial Country Club in October.
Hoge is coming off his top season on the PGA TOUR with six top 10 finishes, including his first win on TOUR at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. At TCU, he was a three-time Academic All-Mountain West selection and an All-Mountain West Conference selection as a senior in 2011. Hoge turned professional after graduating from TCU and has been on the PGA TOUR since 2015.
Rubinson was an All-American for TCU in 2002 and 2003 and was the NCAA Runner Up in 2002. Rubinson, who was inducted into the TCU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2014, played in two PGA TOUR events, the 2003 Valero Texas Open and the 2007 Shell Houston Open. He also played in 18 events on the Korn Ferry Tour.
Cole was a member of the 2013 PING All-Central Region Team and was Capital One Academic All-District VII. He qualified for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 U.S. Amateurs, finishing in the top 16 in 2014. Cole also won the 2013 Canadian Amateur.
