- Senior Conner O'Neil has become the first player from Illinois Wesleyan selected to play in the Patriot All-America Invitational golf event Dec. 29-31 at the Wigwam Golf Club in Litchfield Park, Arizona. A field of 80 elite collegiate golfers have been chosen to compete on The Wigwam's famed Gold Course. In cooperation with the Folds of Honor Foundation, each golfer playing in the Patriot All-America represents a fallen soldier by carrying a golf bag with the name and branch of service of a fallen or injured military member.
