MEMPHIS, Tenn. - The University of Memphis men's golf team is now riding in style with the addition of a top-of-the-line Mercedes Sprinter Van to use for tournaments in driving distance.

The new van seats nine and includes leather seats, internet access, a DVD player and satellite television.

"The guys are really excited about the van," said head coach Grant Robbins. "It will definitely allow us to travel in style and we are very grateful to all of those who have contributed to make this possible."

The Tigers will begin the spring season, Feb. 9-10, at the SunTrust Gator Invitational in Gainesville, Fla., as they begin their quest for a second-straight Conference USA title and NCAA appearance.
