SAN FRANCISCO – The Army West Point men's golf team kicked off its 2017 campaign here Friday, dropping an 11.5-0.5 decision to No. 14-ranked Stanford at the Bush Cup.

The two teams took to the course for the first time this season at the historic Olympic Club in California.

The event featured four foursome rounds played in the morning and eight singles matches in the afternoon.

The Black Knights are back in action Sept. 18-19 at the Hartford Hawk Invitational.

• Army Head Coach Chad Bagley: "We would like to congratulate the Stanford golf team on their tremendous play today and on winning the Bush Cup. We're proud of the way our guys competed and we had a lot of opportunities for serval of the matches to go in our favor.

"This trip to San Francisco was a great experience for our cadet-athletes and we look forward to improving our games and teeing up again next week at the Hartford Invitational.
