Austin Peay begins Key's second season at the helm, where it started his first, at the Golfweek Fall Challenge, Sept. 7-9, at True Blue Golf Club in Pawleys Island, South Carolina. The Governors finished third in Key's debut at the Golfweek Fall Challenge last season, with Patton Samuels shooting 15-under 201 to win individual medalist honors in his APSU debut.

The Govs then make their first of two trips to Florida to compete in Texas State's Destin Collegiate, Sept. 22-24, at Raven Golf Club in Miramar Beach, Florida.
